Pubget Continues to Puzzle and Diversify

"While Pubget doesn’t attempt to sell content from open access journals (articles from PLoS journals are still free), it does attempt to sell freely accessible articles in subscription-based journals. For example, the August 4th issue of JAMA leads with two articles (an editorial and an original paper), both of which are free from the website but require purchasing ($35 each) from Pubget. Similarly, a free editorial in the August issue of The FASEB Journal goes for $28 on Pubget. Many of the author-pays open access articles in PNAS are free in Pubget, but not all. And, the one free “Featured Article” in the July 27th issue of Current Biology costs $54.50....I asked Arnaout about these inconsistencies. He explained that Pubget is transitioning to a new system and to expect a few “hiccups” from time to time. They have no intention to charge for free articles...."
