<p class="MsoNormal">Unpaywall is new to me, so may be new to others as well:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://unpaywall.org/">https://unpaywall.org/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s basically an open, searchable collection of citations and links to the associated open access articles ( > 20,000,000 articles, according to the web site).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unlike the notorious scihub, unpaywall only deals in open access content.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It crossed my radar today because Ex Libris is actually introducing an optional integration with Unpaywall as a content source in an upcoming version of Alma (Nov 2019).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Likewise, the service is integrated as a source into a some other discovery services:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://unpaywall.org/integrations">https://unpaywall.org/integrations</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, unpaywall appears to have some traction, and worth being aware of.<o:p></o:p></p>
