1. prokaryotes (talk · contribs · count) I often cite AAAS content, but so far are restricted to abstracts only, thus related contributions could benefit with full access, thanks. prokaryotes (talk) 21:51, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

   Not approved Blackhat999: As you don't yet meet the experience requirements, I think it would be helpful for you to do a bit more editing first before applying for access. In the interim, I recommend using the Resource Exchange to seek specific sources you may need. Nikkimaria (talk) 17:30, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

12. Paulscrawl (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Active over 11 years, RefDesk regular, Reviewer, Research Coordinator for Wikipedia Library and already approved for Cochrane and BMJ access, both excellent for Evidence Based Medicine. Currently editing Cochrane Collaboration and, soon, unbiased History sections of related EBM articles. Science very frequently critiques Cochrane systematic reviews, which would help balance former (often primary) sources and might help provide requested countervailing views to what some perceive as EBM orthodoxy, per others' comments on EBM Talk page. Would also share access as needed via Resource Exchange. Thanks again. -- Paulscrawl (talk) 01:55, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
