A source to reduce my publication costs
A win-win-win situation for the publisher, the author and the institution (e.g., UF)
Increased visibility, usage and impact of my work (i.e., more access and/or citation to my article)
The nation gets the benefit too as a whole (e.g., public research investment worth more)
The world also benefits – more for the developing countries
