    So making access to information free is helping scientific progress? Wow, who could have imagined that!

      Careful, lest the AI haters hear that.

        Free papers = free access to information LLMs = trash

        In your eyes, what are these AI haters complaining about?

      no no no you see, putting papers behind paywalls actually incentivizes innovation because… wait what?

    If scientists didn’t have to pay obscene prices to view articles, those articles are cited more often. Who would have thought?

    I personally like scihub because it’s easier to get papers off of rather than going through ny library’s portal for a lot of journals.

    Dunno what Sci-Hub is, but most researchers are happy to send you a copy of their paper on request - and this is also legal. Their email address is usually on the abstract.

      I have never ever gotten a response from a researcher :(

        That’s too bad - I’ve seen posts from scientists, or people who claim to be, saying what I said.

      Why wouldn’t they be? It’s not like they’re getting royalties from these journals…

        Not owning it can get them in trouble for sharing

        It depends on the publishing agreement

      Adding up to days in the best scenarios to any research study when scihub or arxiv cuts it down to seconds. I value my time.

    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 a sandwich.

    Isn’t it odd that researchers who should be pros at caring about and finding the most correct metrics for every topic are obsessed with a proxy for quality that is just about the most disjoint possible? It should be embarrassing.

      Unfortunately, it’s commonly not researchers that create academic circles, it is publishers and other entities with vested interest in making us publish more garbage.

      Scientific world is corrupt as hell.

    But tbh - even zlibrary creators got away from Argentina, they should make a movie about it one day.

    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?

    source
    • illusionist@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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.

      source
      • idiomaddict@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        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.

      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.

      source
      • idiomaddict@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

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

    This is why you put the preprint on arxiv
