Wow, thanks!
- generalizations 6y agoNo prob. Scihub opens a whole new world.
- vmception 6y agoI always wished Scihub had a browse feature It relies on knowing what paywall I want to circumvent with some paper's ID When really I just want to browse I'm not in academia and I feel like everyone salivating over Scihub don't realize this use case, because they already know what publications they don't have access to Since its almost 10 years after Scihub launched, is there a chrome extension or other wrapper for to make browsing easy on it, or some app that indexes newly released papers from a variety of journals and auto generates the scihub link equivalent?
- kevinmchugh 6y agoI use Google scholar to find interesting papers and scihub to read them.
- generalizations 6y agoI had the same response when I first got started with it. Thing is, that's not what it was designed for. There's tons of other resources to use when actually researching; scihub just makes sure that what you find, you can access.
- vmception 6y agoI’ve seen more contrived services that combine two or three things for more convenience Would be surprising for someone not to do this with scihub yet
- Siira 6y agoI think you can browse the papers via the libgen interface: http://gen.lib.rus.ec/ http://gen.lib.rus.ec/
- vmception 6y agoSo even there I don’t know what I want to read or search I just want to browse a catalogue I would say “like Netflix” but even SSRN has this basic idea as a first class feature
