Academia.edu
Usually I am in favour of internet platforms that allow researchers to share their material for free with the rest of the world. However, in the case of Academia.edu all my hopes have been shattered. The site is so slow I have never been able to see any of the papers that have been uploaded. In the advertisements of their site they repeatedly mention how many researchers participated and how many articles they share. How they managed to go beyond the Home Page is anybody’s guess. If any of you can help me in this, I would deeply appreciate it.
I just go there to see the cartoon…
I have just been informed that the site works faster just by using Firefox. I tried it and I found out that it is definitely better. Give it a shot!
