New year, new #translationstudiesforfree

A new year is upon us and one of my resolutions is to continue with the #translationstudiesforfree series for this blog (see also on Twitter). This tag aims to make free translation studies content more visible and more easily available.

One of the features of free access to paywalled journal content is that it can be a bit unpredictable; you have to snaffle it while it's available. I thought that it might be useful to make a list of Translation Studies content that is currently on free access. So here's a list of freely available articles (not including book reviews) at time of writing, in alphabetical order.
