    This might make a good flowchart. The decision points are:

    • Is the article online for free?
    • Is an earlier version of the article available for free?
    • Do I have access to a research library?
    • Does the article look really important? (then contact the authors)
    • Does the article look REALLY important? (then look at one of those pdf sites)

    One of the outcomes is “do not cite the paper”.
