  1. I lost JSTOR access after decades of use, within five years of retiring from a major university owing to ill health. My research and writing were seriously impeded and this programme will allow me to resume the reading essential to more writing. My last book was published in 2009 by PUP.

  2. I am an independent researcher and my papers presented / accepted have been published in many books, proceedings, journals etc.

    Some times, my papers are quoted by others, but when I tried to access such papers, payment is asked.

    Therefore, in those instances, the authors should be allowed to accees to know in what contexts, they quoted.
