Thousands of paywalled research papers could be freed with this simple fix

‘Green open access’ has existed for decades – and it’s not hard to get academics to use it more.

perhaps this was one of the first, maybe even the first overview article on modeling the consequences of #climatechange for the #EuropeanMediterraneanregion. And that was in 2001, when hardly anyone was talking about climate change except a few wild-eyed scientists. But published in a small regional journal, #Geoöko, which has also ceased to exist in 2025, hardly anyone read it! #MediterraneanTypeEcosystems #ecosystemmodelling

A First Bibliography of Modelling Climate Impacts on Mediterranean Type Ecosystems (MTE) at the Landscape Level

This bibliography tries to compile the major papers conceming the modeHing of (Mediterraneantype ecosystems (MTE) and the modeHing of clirnate impact for MTE.

If I get some time this weekend, I'm going to go and make sure that ALL of my research publications are available in parallel from a repository or two, even where they are 'gold' OA at the journal.

Journals can't be depended on to keep things online.

for instance for this paper by Bouabdallah et al (2022)

"A new C, C-linked functionalized bipyrazole: ...."

the journal version is offline (oops!)

whilst the 'green OA' repository hosted copy is safely kept online by @hal_fr here: https://hal.science/hal-03510616/

Yay for self-archiving and repositories providing resilience, even when journals fail to keep content online
