what the fuck is heinonline? They seem to be scraping open access shit and then submitting links leading to their website on google scholar so you can pay them for shit that is... available

@aud from what i heard the scholar team is constantly begging for it to please stay up. google does not understand the value of people using their software if it's not making search money

HeinOnline is a legit journal database (insofar as for-profit academic publishing is ever legit, of course)—they’re sort of like JSTOR for legal scholarship, except for-profit.I’ve used them before, because some of my research on race and migration overlaps with legal scholarship on citizenship law. Some of the stuff they index is indeed open access, but I thought there was a bunch of paywalled law journals I could only get to via HeinOnline (through my uni library, of course).

Just checked some of my old journal PDFs, and it looks like most of the recent law review articles are open access, but older stuff is often only available through commercial databases—and then HeinOnlilne is *way* preferable to some of the others, especially ProQuest which is abysmal in every way. -
@[email protected] This is good to know! Thank you. I guess I just caught a string of bad luck with it, so to speak. Sounds like it's... well, as scummy as any other for profit publisher/gatekeeper rather than being particularly heinous.
