Viewing Articles “I personally find it easier to read research articles in PDF instead of sifting through stacks of pages.” “It is really nice that many articles arrive as PDF. I can then share with co-authors and have the articles on my PC for future reference.” “I loathe that I have to look at PDFs of photocopies rather than PDFs of the actual articles. I lift figures for teaching purposes and they would be of much higher quality if straight from the articles.” “It is a little frustrating to get articles that aren't exactly straight on the page.” “Sometimes the articles are REALLY hard to read. The text will be blurry or the document will be really dark.”
