This answer shows why ozone should be diamagnetic. Still, Wikipedia article says it is weakly paramagnetic, having positive magnetic susceptibility $χ = \pu{+6.7E−6 cm^3 mol^-1}.$ There's a paper by discussing it [1], saying it's only a value reported for liquid $\ce{O3},$ but it's paywalled. What is the reason for such discrepancy?

This question's answer shows why it should be diamagnetic. Still, Wikipedia article says it is weakly paramagnetic, having positive magnetic susceptibility (χ) = +6.7·10−6 cm3/mol. There's a paper discussing it, saying it's only a value reported for liquid O3, but it's paywalled. What is the reason for such discrepancy?
