They have the "Access Request Button" listed as a source of full text, but 
bizarrely missed out "repositories" directly. Their list of software is also 
proprietary-heavy ignoring FLOSS tools such as PSPP (a GNU implementation of 
a stats package somewhat akin to SPSS) and R (a FLOSS implementation of a 
command-line stats tool - the commercial equivalent "S" is rarely used). 
Academia.edu is included as a tool to promote one's work, but not as a tool 
to find the work of others.
