Since only a single publication Saxe has been published in offers Open Access I also wanted to check on the resources Saxe utilizes.
Current Biology has a great website at: http://www.cell.com/current-biology/home with videos and full text documents with all the pertinent graphs, charts, and diagrams.
Behavioral and Brain Sciences do ask for membership, but does offer free online access to articles published since 1993. ( http://www.bbsonline.org/ )
Science had links to the current issue –which actually had an article about weiner dogs which is funny because just today I saw one walking down my street. Anyway, in addition to the current issue, http://www.sciencemag.org/index.dtl also had links to previous issues which are published weekly with the opportunity to subscribe as well.
Nature Neuroscience not only had full text articles from current and previous editions, but also had advance web access to upcoming issues! (http://www.nature.com/neuro/index.html )
At first Animal Behavior seems to offer free full-text downloadable documents of their journal, but then the link sends you to Science Direct where articles can be purchased. NeuroReport also asks for registration and pay-per-view for articles. (http://www.neuroreport.com/pt/re/neuroreport/home.htm;jsessionid=JhQTH21GnxnF2Qk40GK1r5r6Y3vphQQhR617ccQ1yTSJ3ZhVCWLF!1204955331!181195628!8091!-1
Brain required a subscription to “Brain Online” although it is possible to search the holdings without a subscription (http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/ ) Very tricky how these things are labeled
Most of the other journals I looked at required purchase or at least subscription. Very interesting to see that the majority of resources Saxe uses offer public access compared to the inaccessibility of the publications in which she has been published.

Access
This week I noted the publications in which Rebecca Saxe has published her work and then checked access to each publication.
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, Acta Psychologica, Psychological Science, NeuroImage, Brain Research, Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Neuropsychologia, and Annual Review of Psychology all require subscriptions to access the publications online.
Cognition offers the opportunity to purchase individual articles through online .pdf files at : http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00100277
Cerebral Cortex published by Oxford Journals offers Open Access materials at online at: http://cercor.oxfordjournals.org/current.dtl#FEATURE_ARTICLE with links to back issues.
Overall, the journals in which Saxe has been published are difficult for the public to access. Without connection to a university or fortunate public library, Saxe's articles are out of reach.
Next I'd like to take a look at the resources Saxe references and their availability.
