Last week a fellow #academic made a meeting with me to discuss how #selfhost #foss resources could be helpful for the #library and his own exhibits and projects. Then when we met he seemed to had forgotten and just gave me random tips on my projects
I was so excited for my selfhosting world to collide with my academic world
My social media profiles mention that I'm a recovering academic. What do I mean by that, and why do I think it's important?

#Academic community, I need some help :)
Do Acadamic Journals offer themselves as an electronic PDF of the entire journal ediition, or is everything a web index page linking to PDFs of individual articles?
Everything I have searched for so far seems to indicate the latter, and I am more interested in how journal looks in book form, e.g. does it have and introductory editorials? is it just papers with a cover page? are published papers headed by abstracts? whats the layout like?
If anyone could point me in the direction of an actual PDF or “online reader” of a journal in it’s full & complete glory, I would be most appreciative :)
**Slavery, Prosperity, and Inequality in Roman Pompeii**
_“These narratives can be seen to form two sides to the same coin, as Pompeii’s prosperity was created in large part thanks to slave labour. The connection is supported by constructing a probabilistic model, which suggests some 6 million sesterces (HS) flowed every year to Pompeii’s masters through their exploitation of slaves. Slave owning probably formed the largest single income source for the urban economy.”_

“Reductions to federal support for research at universities and other institutions under President Donald Trump are dimming young scientists’ prospects, cutting off pathways to career-building projects and graduate programs.

Wow, several initiatives are being proposed in the EU (also more tomorrow, I guess) in order to host scientists fleeing from the US (meaning from Trump and Musk, basically):
