IEEE Introduces Open Access ‘Mega-Journal’
IEEE is seeking to increase the impact that scientific research can have on technology innovation with its first online, open access (OA) "mega journal"—a journal that covers a range of disciplines instead of a single-topic focus. IEEE Access provides free online access to applications-oriented articles, meaning they explain how research can be applied in technology today. The journal is designed to appeal as much to industry as it does to academia while using a faster peer-reviewed process that maintains high article quality.

I'd like to share some of these treasures that have improved the browser experience for me. There are similar extensions for Firefox and other browsers, but I'll focus on those I use on Chrome.
