 Are you interested in one of my papers but find out that it's behind a paywall and requires a subscription? Please get in touch with me! While I sometimes have to pay to publish in certain journals, it is *FREE* (and legal) for me to send you any of my papers, even if they are in a journal that requires a subscription. You can either directly email me or send me a request on ResearchGate (direct email is usually better). My open-access (any random person can access them) papers are marked by "[OA]" at the end of the citation.
