Carrie Arnold in the article:
'These results leave Davis reluctant to support the recent trend of both
funding agencies like the National Institutes of Health and universities
mandating that research results be made open-access. "Science policy
should be supported by rigorous research," Davis says, and the research
thus far is not rigorous enough to support policy that dictates
open-access publishing.'

phildavis in a comment:
"Linking to the cited articles may have reduced the misattribution and
allowed readers to learn more about the complex issues."
