Joe McArthur is the Assistant Director of the Right to Research Coalition and co-founder of the Open Access Button. The Open Access Button was launched in 2009 and is built around the principle that access to research is a student right. It aims to educate and advocate for open access to research. McArthur discusses how publishing is increasingly profitable but access to research is restricted, and advocates for more open access to research through initiatives like the Open Access Button to make scientific progress more open and collaborative.
