Dunno what Sci-Hub is, but most researchers are happy to send you a copy of their paper on request - and this is completely legal. Their email address is usually on the abstract.
Noted. Will upload my future papers on SciHub myself. /j. Or am I? Vsauce music plays Did you know vegetables are a social construct?
A sandwich is also a social construct. But not every social construct is also a sandwich.
Thanks Dropout!
This is why you put the preprint on arxiv
So making access to information free is helping scientific progress? Wow, who could have imagined that!
Careful, lest the AI haters hear that.
In your eyes, what are these AI haters complaining about?
Seems to be mainly about property owners not getting enough rent.
Free papers = free access to information
LLMs = trash
The AI haters I’ve seen really hate free access to information. Well, there’s apparently other kinds.
Very misguided.
ikr?
I personally like scihub because it’s easier to get papers off of rather than going through my library’s portal for a lot of journals.
One of us.
yes
If scientists didn’t have to pay obscene prices to view articles, those articles are cited more often. Who would have thought?
I don’t know if it’s just my field or if I’m searching wrong, but I get almost nothing when I look for papers about German grammar and language instruction. Is this mostly for more mainstream/hard science papers?
I can’t speak for your field or language but someone has to upload it. Content in German and about grammar sounds very specific. Maybe there’s a lack of interest on scihub. Ask around in your circle where they share/get their articles
Idk if itll help but have you tried annas archive? It mirrors multiple science piracy sites.
Edit:do you mean pedagogical materials or research? Cause I don’t think you’ll be lucky if it’s the former.
I have tried it, but also not had any luck. I am looking for research, but it’s still a really narrow field, tbh. Even in Germany, I think there are only a handful of DaF/aZ postgrad programs.
