$6 to read the study. All I want to do is skim it and explore their graphs/charts out of curiosity. I can't justify $6-$38 (from rent to download) for a couple minutes of intrigue. Am I alone in this, or is this a real problem?
- adenadel 11y agoMost readers get access through a library or their place of work (usually those involved with scientific industries). I don't know if I've ever heard from anyone paying those prices for a single article. If you went to a 4 year college at some point you might want to check if your login to the library still works. You can search for the article there to read it.

- proksoup 11y agoIf I could understand how the money contributed to the science, I would be much happier to pay even to skim.
- adenadel 11y agoThe thing is... fees to publishers don't contribute to funding science.
