I’m looking for recently published research papers. I’m wondering what are the methods of obtaining recently published research papers apart from methods described in the megathread ?

    I wrote a small homage to Alexandra Elbakyan on my PhD Thesis because her courage and dedication helped me get throw that stage of my academic life. Here are the URLs listed on Wikipedia. They might be blocked by DNS providers, but afaik the project is alive and works for many papers (unless it’s too recent) ymmv.

    sci-hub.se
    sci-hub.st
    sci-hub.ru

      I actually talked with her recently! She didn’t know about Lemmy! So of course I told her last week.

      She also said there wasn’t a group chat for sci-hub because of scammers trying to bring the project down from the inside. Which I thought was really sad. If someone creates a group chat and posts it on Lemmy though I feel like it would do really well.

      I had some questions about scraping the data and I felt bad having to ask her directly for every little problem I had.
