On this page[edit]

... it's not yet finished - well, obviously, Wikipedia's articles are never actually "finished". What I meant is that in the next few days I intend to add a section on "History" and, based on that section, a few images. If anybody wants to help, this sandbox is open.

Open access sources[edit]

It seems that this article is currently based purely on non-open access sources. This is allowed by Wikipedia guidelines, but it greatly weakens the verifiability and greatly reduces the number of people who can edit the page.

A partial fix would be to include some |quote= parameters in the references, with a few key sentences used to justify the content of the Wikipedia article.

The other fix would be to add open access (OA) research papers on the topic. There is strong OA pressure via Plan S in Europe and Indonesia is a leader in OA, but this varies depending on the academic field and publisher location. Some of the closed access papers here might have be available via green open access, typically as preprints, although you may have to keep an eye out on citation bots or humans that don't understand the benefit of green open access to a peer-reviewed research paper.
