Thanks for clarifying it, I didn't know that it uses stored credentials to serve. Still it will be nice if there is a decentralized network storing these papers

Thanks for clarifying it, I didn't know that it uses stored credentials to serve. Still it will be nice if there is a decentralized network storing these papers in case those journals go away or out of business. This research papers are anyways funded indirectly and authors of this paper are not really dependent on income from these papers, but the resulting data, experiments and experience they gained while working on it. Reading these papers is only a very small step to know something, but a necessary one.
