Researchers and academics cannot easily access full-text articles from publisher websites in machine-readable formats

Academics and researchers need to download and process scholarly articles in HTML or other accessible formats for research, analysis, and archival purposes, but publishers restrict access through paywalls, DRM, and proprietary formats. Current solutions like institutional access are limited by subscription costs and geographic restrictions, forcing researchers to manually copy-paste content or use unreliable workarounds that violate terms of service.
