But would it really be that difficult to give me the citation so I can look up the paper in my university's database, or pay for it online if I'm that interested? A proper citation instead of "scientists from the university of blah" is still an improvement.
- bluekeybox 16y agoAbsolutely. For someone interested enough to read a 10-page scientific article to verify a reported fact, $30 fee is usually not a big deal (plus the 5-10% of the population who are in the universities can get it for free). I am surprised the science journals themselves are not pushing for this.
- elehack 16y agoEven if they just put in the author, venue & volume/issue or, for annual venues, year, that will generally be enough information to find it without a full citation.
