<span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">In the last week, a rash of articles have been sent my way through our problem-reporting pipeline involving Wiley articles linked from third party databases like CINAHL or Primo Unpaywall links, in which the third
party expects full text access but the user hits a paywall. On checking Unpaywall's article fixer tool, each article comes up indexed as "Free to Read." In one case a student stated they were able to article access the article in question as recently as last
week. So far no response from Wiley.</span></p>

<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Have others observed similar, and perhaps have a scoop on what's going on with this Wiley content? It seems like as they were labeled "free to read," not "open access," they may have been in a time-delimited or otherwise
revokable free status.</span></p>
