  At this point, I just stopped citing any article paywalled by elsevier, and only their arxiv counterpart.

  If anyone ask, I will argue that I cannot obtain the version published by elseviw, and citing that version will be disingenuous.

    This might make a good flowchart. The decision points are:

    • Is the article online for free?
    • Is an earlier version of the article available for free?
    • Do I have access to a research library?
    • Does the article look really important? (then contact the authors)
    • Does the article look REALLY important? (then look at one of those pdf sites)

    One of the outcomes is “do not cite the paper”.

  Just leaving this here for everyone! This browser extension has saved me a lot of hassle so many times. We need to stop paying where possible and this is the convenient legal way for a lot of papers out there: unpaywall.org
