In case somebody made the meme because they need that paper and couldnt get it, enjoy.
Edit: generally, you can find a ton of hard to get papers by searching the first 5 or 6 words of the title plus “pdf” , “reasearchgate”, or “arxiv” at the end of the search string
As much as I appreciate the ResearchGate mention, the paper is open-access right now on Wiley’s site. Whatever’s happening in OP’s screenshot is either some kind of technical glitch or a clerical error that has since been resolved.
Meh. My general opinion on academic publishers is such that I’d rather pirate it to avoid giving them the page view anyway. Entities that exist to gate knowledge can universally go fuck themselves
Obligatory response that this is highly dependent upon the field and your experience. Of the four authors I contacted for copies to their paper in my tenure as a child protection caseworker, none of them even replied to me let alone gave me a copy of their paper. I don’t know if it was because of the fields (psychology and social science) or because I emailed them from my .gov.au email but this advice doesn’t always hold true.
I’d definitely avoid using the gov email address. This may be another difference between my field and what you are doing, but if a .gov emailed me asking for my work I’d redirect them to my security manager, expecting it to be one of those “oops you got phished, be more careful!” type of cyber training emails. I’d also offer that you might look up the person you’re emailing; I’ve published under at least 2 different student email addresses that I no longer have access to. If you happen to know my name you’ll find my current contact info pretty quickly on google, but if you email gust@undergrad.edu that email is going straight into the void
Very true. I’ve benefited from doing that countless times, and I keep final drafts of all of my work in folders organized by publisher title explicitly so that I can pass it forward if anybody ever emails me looking for something ive written that is now behind a paywall
(I deleted my last comment because it ended up more vitriolic than I want on the internet forever, but for anybody reading this afterwards the gist of my deleted comment earlier in the thread was “I do not respect academic publishers”)
Fuck publishers, the only reason I go along is that it is necessary for my career. If I could I’d publish everything on my own website.
You’re very welcome to ask me for any paper I published.

SCI HUB. Say it with me sci-hub Is it just me? Sci hub free article access ftw?
Arxiv is pretty great too, but not everything is physics.

Obligatory reminder to just email the authors, they’ll give it to you for free 99% of the time
