That means that you likely use university/college internet and your institution has purchased institution access. This access is usually implemented in the form that everyone from the institution's network can download the paper, without having to log in at the publisher's website or anything. Basically an ip based whitelist.
- vitus 5y agoI could believe that, if I were living on a college campus. But no, I'm using a residential ISP, and every geoip site I've checked in the past agrees re: my ISP. I recall in the past when I was on a university connection, I was also greeted by some sort of affiliate banner indicating that I was getting access through the university.
