According to their access

According to their access options chart (http://www.sciencemag.org/subscriptions/access_chart.dtl), "Full text of research articles one year after publication back to 1997" is available for free to registered (via free registration) users. Both the ones about are more than a year old so perhaps that is what you are seeing? That's wierd that you would see the same thing though even when you are not logged in. I Actually never saw any mention of "free" full texts. I either could see the full-texts (on-campus with institution subscription), or could not see them (e.g. if i visited the site through a proxy). That's neat though that they do offer those articles for free :)

That paper is a technical comment so it looks like according to science that is free.

Interesting, I didn't notice the "My Access Rights" link, however it still doesn't make sense as the referred articles are reports and reviews. Maybe they have made a mistake on the permissions of this article ?

* ScienceNOW stories published within the past four weeks

That paper is a technical comment so it looks like according to science that is free.

Sorry about the original

Sorry about the original post+image being a little screwed up, I guess the system for posting images in blogs needs a little tweaking.

As far as free the free access to this article and its referenced articles, I can read them all without logging in. I did a little digging for some kind of open access announcement, but nothing turned up via site search ?
