    Here’s another trick for obtaining free articles: write an email to the author and ask for a copy. We have to pay to publish on journals and don’t see a dime, so we really don’t care if you pirate it.

      And wait for days to weeks if it didn’t just go into the spam folder?

      Just put the penultimate draft on arxiv or researchgate like the rest of us.

        I don’t know. Is arxiv peer-reviewed? The “best” solution I can come up with is paying the extra 500$ fee to publish under open license, if the journal allows you.

    Does the “email the paper authors” actually work? I’ve tried it lik twice but never got a response 😔

      Many post their articles on Researchgate. I find requesting the article there has a higher success rate and it’s just a click of a button.

      I remember my first week using research gate and spamming the request paper button.

    Unrelated, but I saw my neighbor chasing his kid, who’s probably like 8, full speed down the street and the kid was actually pretty fast
