or turn to sci-hub and annas-arhive :)
- philipkglass 2y agoYou use Google Scholar to find papers you're interested in, then use sci-hub to actually read them.
- freefaler 2y agoindeed... and use Zotero with the correct plugin to download them automagically
- epcoa 2y agosci-hub hasn't been updated in 4 years and the sources for annas-archive like nexus-stc are seriously hit or miss (depends on the field).

- orochimaaru 2y agoNot sure if researchgate is still a thing. I had it and uploaded all my papers there. They show up automatically on Google. I believe this is allowed since you’re allowed to share copies of your publication on your website. The problem is my researchgate account was connected to my academic account. It’s been a while since I graduated so I’ve lost access to my own publications and page. But I used to use researchgate and requests in researchgate quite a bit.
- teruakohatu 2y agoDoes sci-hub have up to date content these days? Having pretty wide journal access through my institution means I don’t need to reach out to sci-hub.
- epcoa 2y agosci-hub proper hasn't been updated since it's indefinite pause in december 2020. Alternatives are of variable success depending on field. It might be better for CS/Math, but medicine and life sciences it's pretty bad.
- whimsicalism 2y agoi believe they paused due to an indian court injunction and the case was heard this year, does anyone know any update?
- insane_dreamer 2y agoHow would an Indian court case have any jurisdiction in Russia (not to mention mirrors)?
- cipheredStones 2y agoSci-Hub complied with the order with the intent to actually argue their case (and possibly establish a legal justification for the site), rather than just defying the order and continuing to play cat-and-mouse with every authority.
- joshuaissac 2y agoAnd this is because they have a chance of winning. The same court has previously adopted a broad interpretation of what constitutes fair dealing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Oxford_v._Rameshwari_Photocopy_Service https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Oxford_v._Ramesh...
- whimsicalism 2y agoscihub is dying unfortunately :( the good news is it is happening just as all the fields i'm interested in except for some experimental physics & biology have moved to OA
- Loughla 2y agooa resources have really kicked it into high gear post covid. They used to be kind of a joke, but they're actually competitive now. It's nice to see.
- Onawa 2y agoI believe NIH's directive that all intramural and extramural research must be published OA has helped move things in that direction quite a lot.
- kedarkhand 2y agoSorry but what is OA?
- bloak 2y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access (I assume)

- thrdbndndn 2y agoI'm a proud user of sci-hub but when I was still in academics, I have never used it. My school has access to all the journals I ever needed, plus more old non-digitized ones I can borrow from library (including interlibrary access).
- thrw42A8N 2y agoMy school has no such thing and yet requires me to find and cite research.
- consf 2y ago[dead]
- ryzvonusef 2y agoIt depends on the discipline, also the mode of learning (I'm distance learning so no physical library access). My uni (Northampton) has access to a LOT of journals... but has a blindspot in management, specifically accountancy focus journals; am doing my lit review for my MSc dissertation and the number of times I hit a dead end is frustrating. Sci-hub and Annas-Archive are also not interested in that segment, so double whammy. But surprisingly Archive.org was able to help me out a bit, so thanks for that.
