It's too time consuming and has an undefined likelihood of success. People will naturally flock to alternative methods, such as sci-hub, that are faster and until recently were near guaranteed to have the desired content.
- periheli0n 5y agoAgreed, sci-hub is so much more convenient. But when the publishers finally shut it down for good, we'll have to find another solution. A community of scientists sharing their papers would be a good thing already now. I personally know active scientists who don't even try anymore to look up the paper, but rather go directly to sci-hub for any doi they need. I can understand why, but I also think that this doesn't lead to a sustainable publishing culture.
