I think it&#x27;s a mistake to assume the general public must have access to the paper for it to advance the public good. A climate change paper does good even if the general public doesn&#x27;t read it.<p>Furthermore, most of these papers are available to the public, just not online.<p>Many libraries have copies of the works.<p>I do think the pricing for non-institutional clients is absurd. Paying 30 bucks just to get past the abstract is nuts.
