this may be the World’s Dumbest Question but if I may…how does one /actually read/ articles in the journal for transformative works? I don’t see links on many of them, and the ones that do have links lead to a “DOI error.” Is it just a case of needing to be subscribed (or whatever) to the host archives a la jstor? I’ve been out of academia for a long time and am totally lost!

No such thing as a dumb question!
