Quotes:

“The basic rule for what is legal and what is not, is authors own the text until they submit it to a publisher.”

“Anyone who’s got even just a student account at a university, shares in the subscription. So if they log in, while they’re on campus, then they have free access to a lot of stuff which is paywalled, when they’re off campus.”

“Internal validity is how much within the scope of the paper it has correctly answered the question.”
