Not being associated with a university anymore, Google Scholar saves me about ~70% of the time too. However, many of those links aren't legitimate (i.e., licensed) you see a lot of links like http://dept.example.edu/~prof/BIO332/resources/paper.pdf http://dept.example.edu/~prof/BIO332/resources/paper.pdf .
Glad they're out there, but it would nice to not depend on grey-market servers.
- RK 15y agoThese links are often legitimate. Even Elsevier lets authors post their own articles on their own sites. But I agree that this is not a good solution to the bigger problem.
- bhickey 15y agoI'm lowly author four on a paper published in an Elsevier journal (American Journal of Human Genetics). I submitted a request to redistribute it on my personal site. It took less than a week for them to grant it. Easy to do, but I shouldn't have had to ask in the first place.
