| Jul 14, 2020 at 22:13 | comment | added | Danu | In my (rather limited) experiences, authors are usually more than happy to provide copies of their papers if you write to them personally. I've done this on a couple of occasions. | |

| Jul 14, 2020 at 5:13 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @AlexandreEremenko it's not a .tex file, but it is LaTeX: arxiv.org/e-print/1905.02537 so open it in your favourite editor (more generally, change /abs/ to /format/ in the url of any arXiv paper, and if the source is there, you can get it. I've grabbed good styles and macros this way) | |
| Jul 14, 2020 at 5:11 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @David Roberts: I don't understand: can you access .tex files via the arXiv?? How? I only see .pdf files available there. | |
| Jul 14, 2020 at 5:07 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @AlexandreEremenko I asked the category theorist Mike Barr why he doesn't post on the arXiv, yet posts all his papers and books on his website (and he is not exactly pro-commercial publisher, either). He said he doesn't want people to get their hands on his .tex files. I don't understand it either. | |
| Jul 14, 2020 at 5:07 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | Yes, it is Chorus, par.nsf.gov/search/term:%22eremenko%22 I just checked: it says that my papers that I downloaded a week ago will be available on June 21 2021. The papers I uploaded a year ago are available. | |
| Jul 14, 2020 at 5:02 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @David Roberts: The reason why some people DO NOT post their papers on the arXiv totally escapes me. Probably they write their papers not to be read but for some other purpose. | |
| Jul 14, 2020 at 0:59 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @AlexandreEremenko the arXiv availability of articles varies widely by field. Some areas don't have as much arXiv coverage as you would think. It's very much a sampling bias effect. Also, it doesn't help for old papers! I'd be interested to know the NSF-mandated website. Is this related to CHORUS? | |
| Jul 14, 2020 at 0:47 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | On my opinion, a majority of recent math papers are available on the arXiv. Moreover, NSF requires that all NSF sponsored papers be deposited on another arxiv which is supposed to be available to all. I have never used this NSF source since I find most of what I need on arXiv. | |
| Jul 14, 2020 at 0:19 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | There is an illegal Hub for Sci-ence that provides a lot of journal access, started in Kazakhstan. You shouldn't check it out, though. | |
| Jul 13, 2020 at 23:20 | comment | added | LSpice | @JoePrevidi, I just dug up my password and tried, and I wasn't able to access the VPN or the proxy, so it looks like a time-limited thing. | |
| Jul 13, 2020 at 22:41 | comment | added | Joe Previdi | RBega2, I had not thought of that! Technically I am not sure if I should have access to UChicago's VPN software (on the website it doesn't say that I do, but also doesn't say that I don't). However, I just tried it out and it appears that at least for now I still have access! Thank you! Now the question is just whether I will still have it in the near future... | |
| Jul 13, 2020 at 22:22 | comment | added | RBega2 | Do you still have VPN from UChicago? That will make it appear as if you are on campus and usually grants journal access. If not, do you still have a departmental unix account (assuming Chicago has one)? It's possible to set up a proxy via a ssh tunnel and this also makes it seem like you are accessing the internet from on campus. | |
| Jul 13, 2020 at 22:15 | comment | added | Joe Previdi | There are several resources I have been looking for which I have lost access to (UC online access for students is vast). One is the Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, which I was not able to find in their alumni resources. I have not reached out to Brenda Johnson; thanks for that! I have inquired with a librarian about whether I will have faculty resources, considering I will be teaching at their affiliated charter school, but have not heard back yet. | |
| Jul 13, 2020 at 21:59 | comment | added | LSpice | Do you know that the UC alumni access doesn't cover what you need? (I've never made much use of it, and can't remember my password, so I can't check right now.) Have you asked the library director (Brenda Johnson) whether they would be willing to grant access to resources for a fee? | |
