| Aug 10, 2020 at 13:36 | comment | added | R.P. | @TimothyChow I think that must be the case. The page I'm getting says I can buy the chapter for 27,20 EUR (which isn't that bad comparatively speaking, but still). | |
| Aug 10, 2020 at 13:25 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @RP_ : Is it behind a paywall? I thought it wasn't, because I am able to view it from a machine that isn't registered to my institution, but maybe I have some cookies in my browser or something. | |
| Aug 10, 2020 at 9:36 | comment | added | R.P. | +1 But I don't know how I feel about referring an independent (that is unpaid) researcher to an article behind a paywall, sold by price-gouging publishing houses. I would try to e-mail the author and request a preprint copy from him, if I were the OP. | |
| Aug 10, 2020 at 6:21 | comment | added | user158636 | maybe it is useful to remark that even ignoring the issue of an advisor, one valuable source of information that a "normal" graduate student has access to and an independent researcher doesn't is a group of peers at roughly the same level of mathematical understanding as you that you see on a day-to-day basis. I think for many people the perspective of other people allows them to re-gauge their views on what is important/difficult and to lose any misconceptions sooner than they might otherwise. | |
