As a hobbyist student researcher, I have had a lot of problems with getting full text articles. And emailing authors for full texts is very tough when you are working on 5-10 projects at a time. 

For researchers from a developing country, the 41 USD price/article is ridiculously high. Neither do we get any funding nor support e-libraries in our institutes.

What remedies do you suggest?
