High reprint orders in medical journals and pharmaceutical industry funding: case-control study

With great interest I have read this article. But I believe there are two major limitations to this article. First, a lot of scientists get their reprints through the internet using their library as source to get the documentation so will miss the paperless reprints. Secondly, did the authors investigate from which countries the reprints request came; some countries, especially those not in the western world, do not have access to a library on line, and therefore will request more reprints.
