Nonprofit peer-review and journal initiatives are increasing, but they're not ubiquitous.

One initiative's solution is to allow "any scientist [to] initiate the creation of a [new journal] in a field not already covered": https://peercommunityin.org/2019/05/21/steps-in-the-creation-of-a-new-pci/

Another way to push the movement forward is to sign their pledge agreeing to “submit at least one of my best articles to @PeerCommunityIn [this year],”: https://peercommunityin.org/pci-manifesto/

@ProPublica

@philipncohen @academicchatter in these situations, I usually ask the author for a copy.

And I would never advocate visiting Library Genesis because I firmly believe that copyright is sacrosanct so I could never ever recommend libgen.il or any other mirror cite, because going to Library Genesis to learn about the world would be highly unethical and illegal so I never ever visit libgen.il or any of its mirror sites. Ever. Library Genesis. Google it. But don’t click.
