Usually I don't have any difficulties finding contemporary papers. It is papers from, say, thirty years ago, that are usually stuck behind paywalls.
- hanklazard 11y agoInteresting. I wonder why nothing of that sort exists for the biomedical sciences? Maybe it's been tried but these publishers won't allow it?
- tomkinstinch 11y agoThe biomedical sciences have bioRxiv: http://biorxiv.org/ http://biorxiv.org/ It is not used as broadly as arxiv.org, but that may be starting to change.
- hanklazard 11y agoNice to know, thanks!
