            Abstract : 
The proliferation of OpenAccess is opening promising new research opportunities to academic communities. The benefits of adopting an OpenAccess based approach to EDA research are growing, and we review a number of them. Among them is the ability to learn about a domain while writing software for it, increased ease of code reuse, high-quality benchmarks, and enhanced industry adoption.
