- DonsDiscountGas 2y agoAnybody willing to pay for it, yes. Typically tens of dollars per article or thousands/year for a subscription. It's not like scientists get any of that money though, it's just one more case of publishers squeezing scientists.
- astromaniak 2y agoIs there a legal way to bypass those collectors. It should be, right. After all most research is done on public money.
- trogdor 2y agoEmail the author of the paper and ask for a copy. My success rate with that method is 100%. “Greetings, I am interested in reading your paper, “[title of paper],” but I have only been able to find paywalled versions. Would you please send me a copy? Thank you, trogdor”
- klyrs 2y agoBack in the day, this was the way to get really nice print copies by mail, and a handwritten letter by the author.
- bell-cot 2y agoThink "publish" in the 1940's magazine sense - which is pretty much the distribution model for all "traditional" academic journals. If Famous_Author publishes an article in The Saturday Evening Post - maybe you're a subscriber to The Saturday Evening Post. Or you head to a brick-and-mortar library which subscribes, to read the article there. Or you pay Cover_Price, in cash, to a news stand or drug store or whatever, to get your dead-tree copy of the issue in question.
