No university will subscribe to everything so there are plenty of academics that may require journal articles that they either aren't subscribed to or can't get on loan form another university. Unless the school has given you a budget to pay the $35+ per article, then using a site like sci-hub is the only choice.
- codedokode 9y agoBut scientist and professor job is well paid in America, 35 dollars should not be a problem, compared to the costs a student pays to the university each year (hundred thousand dollars), right?
- AlotOfReading 9y agoAcademics can afford individual papers, but they read dozens to hundreds of papers a month. Add in the fact that many of the papers needed are simply to even check if they're relevant and it's incredibly hard to justify. Also, American unis don't charge $100k/yr. Half that is enough for an ivy.
- madhadron 9y agoA few, extremely prestigious professors at a big university will make more than $100k/year. The vast majority make less, often in the range of half that.
