FUTON bias
- GFischer 13y agoIt might have a positive side effect: if full-text papers start getting more citations, researchers might consider it more important to make their texts available on the internet. The "older research not being used" problem should be acknowledged, but my hypothesis is that having text available on the Internet makes research a LOT more efficient.
