Cannot fathom why articles like this fail to link to the original source report. Here it is:

https://portals.iucn.org/library/sites/library/files/documen...

In particular, I wanted to see what new contributions this report was making in measurement of ocean oxygen concentrations. Section 2.1 appears to be the place this is covered, but all I see is a review of previous work by others.

The report is extraordinarily vague about what exactly were the experiments the authors did (if any). It's not structured like a research paper and reads instead like a very long executive summary. I expected to find a detailed analysis of how O2 measurements were conducted, and the possible limitations of the techniques, but there was none.

Articles about scientific papers should be required to link right at the top. Oftentimes all the hyperlinks are to other articles by the same journalist or publisher. It's insanity. A firefox plugin that somehow finds the original source and pops it up would be incredible.
