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 elsevier and have only read the arxiv version; hence citing the elsevier version would 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One of the outcomes is "do not cite the paper".
