students and educators face when trying to find scientific publications relevant to their needs. I’m writing you all on this list as you have vast collective experience in not only the technical challenges but behavioural as well.

publications), then I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. What’s the top barrier from your perspective?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
