Just one great reason to publish your research in open access journals.
Another good reason is that many funding bodies and research councils now require that research funded by them is put on open access.
Read the new policy from Research Councils UK here http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/Pages/outputs.aspx
and from the Medical Research Council here http://www.mrc.ac.uk/Ourresearch/Ethicsresearchguidance/Openaccesspublishing/index.htm
