Also please post somewhere your support of her with your real name, and reach out with kind words. Every PhD I know relies on this site, but more importantly 10x+ more people I know who are otherwise "outside" academia rely on this site. How many of the world's best researchers in 30 years will have turned out to get their start in research not thanks to Academia but thanks to SciHub? My guess is most of them. And make no mistake, people are trying to have her killed. "Elbakyan may be working with Russian military intelligence. The story says she may have been stealing US military secrets from defense contractors" I just copy/pasted this horseshit from Elsevier’s website right now. Let's provide her with the support and strength to win this war.

  Very good point, and I didn't know that bit of slander against her.

    The same way the false [1] allegations against Julian Assange are related to Wikileaks. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22201381 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22201381

    I'm not aware of any facts supporting Elsevier's accusation, and I would characterize it as intentional disinformation. Elbakyan runs Sci-Hub.

  I mentioned Elbakyan and sci-hub in my PhD thesis acknowledgements. Hardly anyone will see it but it still felt like a little two-fingers to academic publishing.

    Citing "Sci-hub", Elbakyan A. et al is definitely an academic trend I'd support :)

Is there an Easy Sci-Hub Donation for Dummies? scihub.org/donate/ looks scam. https://sci-hub.tech/donation/ https://sci-hub.tech/donation/ at least has the same bitcoin address as sci-hub.do, but as for PayPal et al... ???

  .org is definitely a different site and organization, they intentionally blur the lines to make people think they are associated with Sci-Hub.
  - givepause 6y ago
    It's a different site but they are not pretending to be Sci-Hub. The Chinese scam site is. SciHub.org was formed in 2008 and has 50 employees per CrunchBase. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/science-hub https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/science-hub Real organization, coincidentally a very similar domain and area of work.

  It’s https://sci-hub.do/ https://sci-hub.do/ or https://sci-hub.ren https://sci-hub.ren (that .tech and .org domains are different organizations) To be sure try searching for some random paywalled academic paper on their site
