Please correct me if I just haven’t found the right place, but when I’ve tried to read academic papers in the past I found I’d have to pay upwards of $50.00 to read anything more than just the abstract.
Is there a site that gives free access to these research papers?
- Laakeri 5y agoarxiv.org
- uluyol 5y agoSome conferences are open access and the materials are freely available. Anything USENIX falls into this category. In my area (networking/distributed/operating systems) the other (non-USENIX) major venues are also open access (SOSP and SIGCOMM).
- Ar-Curunir 5y agosci-hub, but generally most papers are available from the authors' websites, or a preprint server like ArXiv or IACR ePrint
- the_benno 5y agoThe best source is usually authors' websites. You can find a free copy of just about any modern CS paper by googling its title in quotes with "filetype:pdf".
- Spivakov 5y agoHere is my kettle logic for you to not even try getting around that paywall: Old papers that are not publicly accessible on the web are very likely just a pile of craps and not worth reading; even if it was worth reading, its information should have been compiled in better ways in textbooks/blog posts; if neither were applicable, then you are supposed to be some researcher working in academia and can ask your institute to offer the access. Short answer: scihub
- anonymousDan 5y ago$200 a year gives you ACM membership with free access to the DL library (amongst other things including a monthly hardcopy of communications of the ACM). Great value IMHO.
- schroeding 5y agoAsking the author(s) for a copy (by writing a short mail to them) does also often work, if there is no other free source available :D
- chrisseaton 5y agoAuthors put free copies on their websites.
- prionassembly 5y agoEmail the authors.
