The $10 billion science publishing industry hasn't heard the last of a
bill that would make publicly funded studies available for free.
Sen.
Just a reminder to the listserv that ESA permits "self-archiving" of
articles published in our journals. That is, authors may post pdfs of
their articles on their own or an employer's web site.

Another way to get articles is to write to the author (via email) for a

Hello everyone-
As a recent graduate--soon to be master's student--I have a modest amount of
experience (though not nearly as much as most of you) with accessing journal

be free, but have you ever published in a journal th

Unfortunately if we exclude references that are costly to read, there would
be little in the way of literature reference on this list. In addition to
most journals, all books would be forbidden texts.
