One of the blessings of the internet is that one can go to websites of journals, or Google Scholar, etc., and quickly download relevant publications, rather requesting reprints from the authors by mail or going to the stacks in the library - if it even carried the journal - as I once had to do. The Trump administration is starting to crush the ability for government scientists to access vital knowledge. This will probably extend to other journals.
