Related to this, I have one question.
Suppose one is going to write a paper and he need to add a reference of another paper which he has got from Sci-hub. So is there any check or any sorts of things of originality of reference paper ?
(I don't know exactly how publishing works)
- _lm_ 9y agoIt doesn't matter how you get a copy of the paper; the citation is the same either way. Plenty of academics have been passing around PDF copies of papers their libraries don't buy access to for years before this!
- TeMPOraL 9y agoAlso relatively recently though probably pre-SciHub, #ICanHazPDF hashtag was widely used on Twitter to request a paper from whoever happens to have access to it.
- woodson 9y agoA reference is just a listing of author(s), year of publication, title, journal/conference. There's no link (perhaps a DOI). There are usually no checks (other than the reviewers/editor looking over the list of references).
