Honestly, Elsevier is the worst. They tease you with those section snippets, so I scroll from the abstract and can start reading the introduction…scroll a bit more and it’s unceremoniously cut off mid-sentence. Then I rage because the article is newer than 2022 (no Sci-Hub) and my institution gets cheaper every year.
I can’t view papers I’ve published in some journals anymore. When I see this, I think: “Why don’t we subscribe to papers we are actively publishing in?? Why aren’t all of the papers I want to read published in open access journals?? Why did I contribute to a journal that wasn’t open access??”
I will try this, thank you for the advice. Normally I end up contacting the authors when I don’t have access. Some are great and respond within the hour, some never respond.
Also, thanks for carrying this community. I enjoy your posts.
