For many members of the EvC community, most science papers are hidden behind a giant, iron-clad paywall. Not good (cue the #openscience hashtag).
Anyways, I've got access to a voluminous amount of science papers*. And I'm more than willing to share this with the EvC community.
So here's what I'm thinking. There are two ways to approach this:
1. Someone makes a post here, asking for the full contents of a given scientific paper.
2. I post a link to the PDF of the paper.
However, I'm not sure how Percy would feel about this, since it would potentially open EvC up to copyright issues and there is, I suppose, the possibility that the site would be taken down.
The other option:
1. You post your request for a given paper here.
2. I send the paper to a "universal" email address which all EvC members can have access to.
Thoughts?
*But not all science papers, particularly ones published by more obscure publishing houses.
