Journal Articles

[renormalised]

If anyone wants journal articles on any topic in astronomy, just give me a buzz here and I'll download them for you. I have access to all the major and quite a few obscure journals:)

Keep you in some "light" reading (pun intended):D

Thats a very kind offer!

I may just take you up on that - I know that organisations need to make money, but it's such a shame that so much science is locked away.

Do you have access to the JSTOR articles??

[AstroJunk]

Nope, I have access to diddly squat! (that's a technical term)

JSTOR (Journal Storage) has "Journal Articles for Scholarship", being an on-line system for old articles, which date back to 1685. It is licensed to mainly to libraries, universities and publishers all over the world - the only local one for me being the University of Sydney.Some of the articles are on science, but there are many on the arts, biology, ecology, business mathematics and music.
In astronomy, there are lots of interesting documents, most of which are often quoted by never read due to inaccessibility. It contains, for example, John Herschel's 1834-1838 southern observation made inn South Africa and most of those in Philosophical Transactions (Royal Society) and even the great observational articles of the 18th Century in the "Memoirs of the Royal Astronomical Society."

Probably have but I haven't had a good look for it.

I have access to JSTOR if you need anything from it.
