Alexandra Elbakyan's work is one of the most positive and important things to happen in the last 3 decades in the field of science, which has been gradually losing its luster due to the bastardization and devaluation of the field by politicians and salespeople using it like hucksters.

Elbakyan's work has inspired me to only publish my work in jornals that embrace open access and open data. I'll be damned if I am a slave to impact factor and other haughty metrics.
