Gert van den Berg (ID: 00000073cb7a1034) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/15/2024 Was useful, now way too expensive for someone that is using it to try to make sense science, without being paid to do so. It promised making it much easier to check how a paper was received, but now has the same paywall issues as many journals.
