What discipline?

> What a surprise. "Huge list," indeed.

The journal list there lists ~13100 journals, of which ~9200 are available and ~3900 are preview only. Seems reasonable huge to me.

Just as spotify for music has almost everything, "spotify for journals" needs to have 80-90%+ coverage or it is an annoying waste of time.

It seems to be missing all of the ACS journals (a big chunk of chemistry) and IEEE (a big chunk of electrical engineering and computer science).

Also, I find the idea of merely 'renting' a paper objectionable. Deepdyve charges individually for PDF downloads, and otherwise only allows you to print 20 pages a month.
