Who Can Actually Read It Screensaver
The Who Can Actually Read It screensaver shows the open-access status of this month's research from OpenAlex, key-less. Green usually leads, which is not the victory it appears to be: it means an open copy sits in a repository in spite of the publisher rather than because of one. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
