I was only thinking open-access journals, which open-source users (i.e.
users of python tools) tend to publish their articles in open-journals. Of
course, there are subscription required articles but those are secondary
concerns. Sometimes authors make their articles publicly available even the
article is on a paid journal.

Citation listing is easier for me, we can go both ways, a page listing only
citations, another one a more experimental figure/citation if copyright
issues can be resolved easily. In anyways, we will have to gather
citations. Let's start doing that?
