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?

My input: I’ve never searched for papers in Scihub directly. I usually find them off Google scholar or something, and then put the paywalled URL or the DOI (an identifier you can usually find in the paywalled website) in Scihub to go to that paper. I don’t think search capabilities are in scihub’s scope.

  I generally use the DOI, but I did not realize that you could just type in a paywalled url. That might explain it, thanks!

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 theirs articles

Idk if itll help but have you tried annas archive? It mirrors multiple science piracy sites.

  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.

    So yeah it’s probably your field! Sorry about that. Fwiw I don’t think the problem is that it isn’t ‘hard science’, I find it easy to find philosophical works (German, English and French language ones). It’s probably just too niche.

Guess it is time to fill in that niche, 😉 😉
