[open-science] How to Block Readcube and Why

[Ross Mounce]

Dear Friends,

You may have noticed recently that at some, all(?) Wiley journals, the "get
PDF" links have been forcibly, non-consentingly redirecting readers to the
Readcube version of the article, NOT the PDF file.

I have written a practical guide on 'How to Block Readcube and Why' to
explain how to get the direct, one-click link to the real PDF back again
(by disabling JavaScript on site). Please share this with friends if you
know they are similarly inconvenienced by this issue:

I have also cross-posted to The Winnower, at which you can download a copy
of this post in PDF format to enable easy offline sharing with others:

Best,

Ross
