  I’ll bet there is - some of my friends call it “Leseschlaf” (reading sleep), which seems fitting.

  Does this work?

  Don’t tell me there’s only one way to find out - my wife would kill me (justifiably so, I guess).

  I must admit what I wrote was simplified.

  If you take into account that a lot of research grants are financed by tax money though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Publishing Revenue⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget the university libraries. Yup, researchers are paid by the university, those researchers pay the publishers to place their articles, the peer reviewers are also paid by the university. And then the university has to shell out money to the publishers, so the articles can be accessed.

  Came here to post this. It’s so evil, it even has ebooks meant for entertainment.

  Never visit downmagaz either!

  I meant you’d have too many torrents (each consisting of 1 small file)…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Code⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Too many small files, papers need different indexing.

  Shadow libraries (like scihub, Anna’s archive etc.) are the way to go - as long as scientists don’t or can’t publish Open Access which is what needs to happen.

  Graphics are good though.
