From: Anali Perry <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2017 20:05:40 +0000 In case you missed it, on Friday, Impactstory pre-released a new Chrome extension called Unpaywall that looks for free full-text of research articles that would otherwise seem to be only available with a subscription. http://blog.impactstory.org/unpaywall/ From the announcement: “Unpaywall is powered by an index of over ten million legally-uploaded, open-access resources, and it delivers. For example, in a set of 11k recent cancer research articles covered in mainstream media, Unpaywall users were able to read around half of them for free–even without any subscription, and even though most of them were paywalled.” The extension is still in a beta stage, with full release scheduled for April 4, but more people using it helps work out the bugs in advance. The FAQ has some additional information, including how it works and advanced settings. http://unpaywall.org/faq This tool joins OADOI and the Open Access Button as easy ways to try to bring open access versions of papers more to the forefront.
