Are there scientists that don't know libgen or scihub?

- mobeets 1y agoScihub hasn’t been updated since 2020! But anyway arxiv has a lot of important features specifically for academic papers (eg quality control, categories, browsing, issuing dois, etc)
- boramalper 1y agoDo you know the latest on that? Are they still holding their breaths over that court case in India?
- mobeets 1y agoI have no idea (but wish I knew). I’m embarrassed to admit it took me years to even notice that it wasn’t being updated anymore
- boramalper 1y agoOkay, I found out that on Reddit [0] that you can follow for updates on the website of High Court of Delhi [1] (though you may need a VPN as it seems to be geo-blocked).

- segmondy 1y agolibgen has been getting taken down especially after it came out that "AI companies" downloaded the entire archive for their training. Is it even still up? Furthermore, you can go go arXiv and see papers that got released yesterday or today. You can't find those on libgen or scihub.
- randomNumber7 1y agoIt is still up, but DNS blocked in some countries. arXiv papers are not published in journals yet. Annas archive has also newer papers than scihub.
