I use sci-hub because it is quicker and easier than logging into my multiple legal affiliation’s library accounts, navigating through their janky web portals and search tools, and then finding out I need to switch to a different acclint/library /catalogue /whatever to read the paper.
As the great Gaben says, piracy is a service issue
This is the way.
Couldn’t a platform like arxiv.org come up with a peer review system so they can be more than just preprints? Make it a full fledged open access platform for fully peer reviewed articles.
Also why are we still stuck in this shitty system where the Elselviers of the world are limiting access to our collective research?
Cool! Didn’t know this existed. Thanks
That’s exactly the goal of Peer Community In: you put your paper on some archive, you ask a “Recommender” to recommend the paper, they select reviewers and the lot, and they decide to recommend or not your paper after some iteration of the process (classical peer review I’d say). Then you can update your paper in a final version, with a kind of stamped version saying it was recommended by XXX (the peer review process is published along as well, I believe).
It also sounds like silent Catherine Walsh would write. Great quote!
I just wanted to play super mario world.
