The "PDF" links to the publications about qEndpoint currently link to landing pages on ResearchGate, which do not always have a PDF to offer, so I think that's a bit misleading. As a courtesy to readers, I propose to give direct links to PDF files, so this PR does that for the first three publications mentioned. I could not find an open access version of the last publication, so I would encourage the authors to upload a postprint (author manuscript after integration of the reviewers' comments) to an open archive such as arXiv or HAL, and add the link to the README.

For an introduction to the problem of publicly funded research ending up behind paywalls and a summary of the open access movement, I recommend this PhD comics video.
