Nature expands access to papers in its family of journals
Summary
Paywalls are the familiar enemy of the curious science seeker, frustrating most attempts to access papers published in peer-reviewed journals if you’re not at a university or library with a subscription. First, those with subscriptions to Nature’s journals will be able to share unique links to papers that will allow the user to view them in ReadCube—but not download or print them. Researchers are generally allowed to post PDFs of their manuscripts (sans print formatting) six months after a paper is published. Second, links from approved media outlets and blogs will open in a similar way, giving readers read-only access to the papers covered or referenced in an article. While the read-only access is pretty restrictive, users who register for a ReadCube account will at least be able to save any papers they’ve viewed to an online library and return to them in the future.
