Hi Sylvain,
Not automatic but when researching one useful trick is to use the title of
the paper and the "filetype:pdf" operator on Google. On English language FA
and GA reviews one of the informal guidelines for use of the citation
template is to use the url parameter for open-access / self-archived copies
when the formal doi parameter points to a paywalled journal site. (and
just the doi if it is open access)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_journal
"Include URL link to free-article, pre-print or abstract."
best wishes

Hi all,
There has been quite discussion on a French list I am subscribing to
regarding the latest partnership with elsevier (and I suspect we can expect
a lot of attraction with this new partnership ...)
One of the interesting question raised was: is there any plan to try to
automatically find, when. There is a pay walled article referenced
somewhere, if an OA version exists, and if yes update the link.
I think it should be covered by TWL, if it doesn't exist yet. Do you know
anything about any initiative of that kind ?
Thanks,
Sylvain
