| Full summary | |
Get full text of scholarly articles as you browse. When you view a research article, Unpaywall automatically looks for a copy in our index of 20 million free, legal fulltext PDFs. If we find one, click the green tab to read the article. Unpaywall points you to legal, author-posted manuscripts that are hosted on university and government web servers. We are pointing to versions that have been posted with the full and explicit authorization of the publishers themselves. These free, author-posted manuscripts are often called "Green Open Access" and are a longstanding and completely legal part of the scholarly communications ecosystem. The majority of scholarly journals permit authors to "self-archive" their papers on university and government web servers. It's these legally self-archived papers that Unpaywall helps users find. Any papers posted outside of publisher permissions are NOT included in our index. |
Do you hate it when you want to read an article ad free, but the website says, "looks like you're using an ad-blocker"? Or when you have a limited number of reads on a news website until you have to subscribe? Same here, so here's an extension that will intercept those annoying popups and let you read that article. There are millions of websites and it's impossible to know them all. So if you have any other website that needs bypassing, please let me know in the support section. |
