The discussion centers on finding alternatives to arXiv.org for accessing free physics articles. Participants express difficulty in locating other free publication sites, with arXiv being the primary resource mentioned. Several websites are suggested, including hep.net, SLAC's SPIRES, and various OSTI links, which offer preprints and eprints in physics. It is noted that all new papers in IoP journals are free for the first 30 days, and the New Journal of Physics is always available at no cost. Additionally, the Physical Review journals have introduced a program allowing authors to pay for unlimited open access, although uptake is still low. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding comprehensive free resources in the physics field.
