Just a hint.
Being a payable article does not mean that it is not open access.
My own experience is that some journals when submitting your article will put a"time
frame" for the article. For example 6 years, after that the author can share the
article unrestricted. So some authors upload thier articles to
academia.edu.
Also there is now awealth of open access journals and of open access articles in non-open
access journals.
