RE: Free Money For Someone Else's Work - The Scandal of Journals Behind Paywalls

in #science8 years ago

Great post! This is a really big issue, and I am really happy that I get access to everything I need from my university. However, this is definitely one of the biggest problems we have in today's research, and I really hope we get to see these things change in the future.

I know the following suggestion might not be popular with everyone, but there are resources where you can access most scientific papers for free, such as Library Genesis. This is of course not entirely legal in most countries, but I think most people who use it feel that it is not morally wrong. It is of course not a real solution to the problem of paywalls, but hopefully it can help you to get your hands on some of the needed medical research papers :)
