You rarely need to pay if you work at a university. When you're on the school network or VPN there's a way to bypass the paywall because the uni usually buys subscriptions for most journals. That does not work if you are not working in a university.
- deerpig 9y agoThe vast majority of universities outside of developed countries can't afford to pay. I work at a national university in Cambodia. I've been trying to get the ministry of education to pay for a heavily discounted account (because we're a developing country) from JSTOR for the last two years with no luck and that's just a few hundred a year. Without libgen and sci-hub we'd be really screwed.
