What is Unpaywall?
Unpaywall is a browser plugin that allows users to access full-text PDFs of resources for free, when available. The tool harvests content directly from over 50,000 journals and open-access repositories from all over the world, and it uses great open data from PubMed Central, the DOAJ, Crossref (particularly their license information), and DataCite.
Currently, the browser plugin/extension is compatible with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
