I hope you can help. I create video and write articles and like to refer to research. I want to stay on the right side of copyright law.
Sites like researchgate elsevier, ncbi, pubmed, nature, all have paywalls and most research papers have copyright clauses attached.
If someone gives me a copy of the paper that they bought via the paywall am I allowed to read it, and am I allowed to make a reference to the data in the research?
There is also a chrome extension that searches for papers that have been published behind paywalls but have also been published on other sites and therefore available to read. I would be allowed to read it at that point, but would I be able to reference any of the research paper in my own work?
Thanks,
