Some of the articles are open access. Authors have to pay $3200 (a typical fee) to not have their papers behind a paywall. If you don't pay the open access charges then typically you have to give the journal the copyright as a condition of publication and you are not allowed to post your own paper on the internet. Of course you can always publish on arXiv or your own website for free without peer review, but it won't count much for academic advancement. I guess that if you find a paper behind a paywall that you can email the authors and they will send you a free copy. Journals typically allow this, and I think the authors will be eager to have their paper cited. -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
