Very soon, they'll even be able to publish open access ( http://blog.scholastic…

HN discussionI loved everything about this article. At my company, we've also found that providing spaces where people are able to work in a cross-disciplinary fashion gives the opportunity for innovative ideas. Every Thursday, a team member is paired with another from somewhere else in the company. While say, a marketing person can get to learn tech – it's also very rewarding to an engineer to be able to work with a marketer or…

HN discussionIf you mean articles: No, it would be unfeasible. According to Science [ https://www.science.org/content/article/scienceadviser-scien... ] there are about 2.82 million articles coming out every year. That's 5.3 papers every minute, 24/7. If you mean a list of titles, your best bet would probably be something like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ [PMC, life sciences/medicine], https://www.jstor.org/ [JSTOR, general]…
