>> They make it difficult to see, but whenever you download something from them, there will be an ‘I just want this pdf’, option, usually in the bottom left-hand corner of whatever screen has popped up, and usually not highlighted/made bold in any way (unlike the paid options)

>> Personally, I pulled all my things from academia and put them on researchgate (and am mentioning this here to encourage more people to do so, exactly because of academia’s money-grabbing practices).
