I have access to the full text of that Amanatides et al. article. I’d be happy to send it to you if you send me your email. Is that the only one that you couldn’t access full text for? If not, let me know and I can see if I have access to any others.
Thanks, Mary! I will keep you in mind the next time I fall into a research rabbit hole.
