Front matter of every published issue
Every article is free to read and carries its own permanent identifier, so it can be cited, saved and traced back long after publication.
Free to read, download, translate and reuse under a CC BY 4.0 licence. No paywall, no registration — credit the author and the journal.
Registered through DataCite and issued via Zenodo. A DOI is a permanent link: it keeps resolving even if an article ever moves.
The full text of every article is deposited with Zenodo, operated by CERN — a second copy held independently of this website.
Zenodo records are harvested by OpenAIRE, the European open science index, which makes each article discoverable across Europe’s research infrastructure.
Each article page carries the citation metadata Google Scholar reads, and every article is a separate PDF, as Scholar requires. Save straight to Mendeley, Zotero or EndNote in one click.
Assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews can read this site: the full text of every article is in the page itself, and a plain-language index and a machine-readable list of all articles are published for them.
Indexing and crawling are carried out by each service on its own schedule, so the time an article takes to appear varies. The DOI and the Zenodo record work immediately. More about finding and citing these articles
