never works
Never works!! When I click on the extension (when I am on my article), it takes you to another page and it says "This article is inaccessible" Then it says: "The author can make this article available to everyone for free - legally. All you need to do is tell us how reading this research would help you!" After dotting a few words down and stating I need this article for research purposes, it then asks me to: "Can you check the article for the author's email address? It'll help us send your message much faster!" So, now this extension wants me to go and find the researchers email address so that they can send my message of request to read the article. There is too much work for this extension and it doesn't even work --- you have to actually to the work and email different people so they can give you access -- not this extension. Don't bother with this. As highlighted on the Overview: "Get the articles you need with the Open Access Button. The next time you can't access the research you need, use the Open Access Button. The Button searches thousands of sources to get you instant, legal access to articles. Yeah, no. It doesn't give you instant, legal access to articles for free. There are loopholes here. Please fix bugs and please fix the open access to all journals.
Terrific tool and can be a real life-saver.
