Speaking as a reader who really appreciates these articles, could you please, please include either a link back to your for-technical-readers-in-your-field article / study / review or first author plus title so I can find it? Also, bear in mind that if it's in a paywalled journal - and that journal *promises* that the 'free to read' link they give you is accessible to everyone, it may or may not work. (Elsevier, I'm looking at *you*). If you're accessing from your institution, you won't be able to see that it's blocked.

FWIW, I'm retired out of a technical field (software) in which 'normal' people didn't (because they couldn't?) read the technical journals my colleagues and I were reading - and none of us in the field read the 'popular' press (no spare time to read oversimplifications of what we already had had to figure out months or years before).

Also, in that I’ve been following a relatively recent interest in molecular biology, here are a few of the journals with open access I read at least occasionally:

PLOS Biology

Nature’s ‘Communication Biology’

Biology Open

MDPI Biology

Hoping someone finds this useful.
