The research access/impact problem arises because journal articles are not accessible to all of their would-be users; hence, they are losing potential research impact. The solution is to make all articles Open Access OA; i.e., accessible online, free for all. OA articles have significantly higher citation impact than non-OA articles. There are two roads to OA: the "golden" road publish your article in an OA journal and the "green" road publish your article in a non-OA journal but also self-archive it in an OA archive. Only 5% of journals are gold, but over 90% are already green i.e., they have given their authors the green light to self-archive; yet only about 10-20% of articles have been self-archived. To reach 100% OA, self-archiving needs to be mandated by researchers' employers and funders, as the United Kingdom and the United States have recently recommended, and universities need to implement that mandate.
