Where do you get your scientific papers from?
ottbot: I'm interested in what turns up here, outside of arxiv - I have no clue, short of the odd self distributed paper.I'm very much dependent on university journal subscriptions to get full text articles - mostly from sciencedirect. It's a shame, as it puts so much stuff out of reach if you're not in the same position.I think in the CS and math fields arxiv can be very useful, but papers in my field (mostly CFD related) are fairly sparse.It might be worth seeing if you can still get access from your university, even if you no longer attend or are affiliated/employed. I know mine offers library services to students after graduation (for life I think), which I assume includes access to journals.
