I wish people would stop linking to phys.org. It's primarily a spam ad promoting agregation site...
- teh_klev 1y agoOr, just link directly to the paper which isn't paywalled: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-445X/14/5/1087 https://www.mdpi.com/2073-445X/14/5/1087
- johnea 1y agoThanks for that link! I didn't find it in my search...
- anadem 1y agoIn the phys.org article: > The paper is published in the journal Land. the word 'published' links to the MDPI paper
- johnea 1y agoIt's good to know the link was in the phys.org article. I didn't read it. When I have interest in an article at that site, I search for the text of the headline, and try to identify the original source.
- carefulfungi 1y agoWhat aggregators do you prefer that surface papers similar to this one?
- johnea 1y agoI generally don't use aggregator sites. I scan/read ~20 journalistic websites each morning. In the modern meaning of "journalism", obviously these sites are also publishing news from elsewhere, but they also have their own staff, and generate original articles. The usual ones: Wash Post, NY Times, Guardian, El Pais, Asahi Shimbun. But also a number of local news sites: San Diego Union, LA Times, San Jose Mercury, SFGate (aggregator?). I used to have tabs for Ars Technica and El Reg, but now I only open those in response to a specific article. Probably the only true aggregator I use, is HN. Which I monitor via the ##hntop IRC channel on libera.chat. I also subscribe to RSS feeds from about a dozen blag sites.
