A reason to publish in open access journals:

Sometimes I'd like to view your papers while I'm off campus and at a study section. Of course, if you're one of my grants, I have already accessed your paper from home. But if I can't access the paper from the NSF building in Arlington, or from a hotel where an NIH panel is meeting, I can't use information from it to argue against some other panelists misinterpretation of what you did.

Publishers who are reluctant to go full open access might consider providing a means for NSF and NIH reviewers to get free access.
