I get your point and it was an emergency option to at some point take time and do it myself, sure. But that is not what I asked, not even sure when I have the time to do this.

one bit of unpaid writing I don't need to do now!
So you're just like a high impact journal, eh?
Because the system is rigged in more ways.
I will try and keep it short.
There is a metric associated with scientific journals called impact factor. You can read up somewhere how its calculated but it is essentially a number that boils down how often a journal's papers are cited.
The higher impact factor your paper gets from getting published the better you look. Its reputable.
This stuff is important when you apply for research grants or new positions within academia. If you have a candidate that published regular high impact versus one that doesn't, there isn't much reason to choose the one that doesn't.
However, as you might have guessed, the system is flawed and one shouldn't rely on impact factors as a measure. However, everyone keeps doing it because it is a simple 1 number metric and everything else is a lot more work to evaluate quality with.
Now a new journal cannot just come in and offer cheap prices because they start without or with low impact factor. They have to build that first over several years with fantastic papers cited by tons of people. You cannot achieve that easily.
Sounds great right? Scientific papers essentially reinvented printing money and now act as if there is no other way to handle this. Add to that, that they give no two craps about scientific integrity or misconduct and there is a small hope scientists might slowly get fed up with the system.
Hey, I've seen that one!
Don't let the Germans read that!
Not for adblock plus please
Yeah, if phones go via WiFi and the computer is on a cable the IP ranges may differ and that would explain you can access only via one of the two.
Been using Seal for a long time now, works pretty well. Nice mobile interface as well.
I dislike how it looks. I don't care it's there. That's not complaining. I don't need this changed. It's just ugly in my view.
"The Germans preferred Ersatz."
(Or at least that's how I remember that quote from Catch-22 when I read it 25 years ago...)
Data is stored in a log file, which is why I wondered if someone already made a solution that just parses that and presents it as graphs. Couldn't find that myself but seems like it does not exist.
