Bad advice for scientists

medical and stem journals are actually not because the scientist or or university is paywalling them, but the publishing companies are. many articles are free on places like research gates but not all, yea can pirate them, if your still in a university as a student you get full access to all these journals for free anyways.

Just make sure you avoid getting in trouble by using the facebook strategy of downloading so much that they shrug their shoulders instead of prosecuting
Only works if you have a billion dollars though. If you do it on a big scale, they're just going to Aaron Swartz you.

Annas archive is also good. If it still exists, I haven't checked in a while and I recall them having some issues
It's the opposite, AA is pretty reliable whereas Libgen (.is domain) has been offline for over a month, came back online just a few days ago.

Many many libraries have access to journals as well so check your local library!!

Where can I register a domain that won't give me up for doing something like this?

If anyone is interested, there's been an excellent episode recently on the "Behind the Bastards" podcast about Robert Maxwell and how he became a self made billionaire by inventing and fucking up modern scientific publishing with the support of British intelligence services.

I’ve published about 30 scientific papers, and have worked closely with publishers, both traditional and highly digitized. Scientific findings are IP, and should be protected; and costs for the publishers should be reimbursed through paid subscription.

Thank you, I am the world's #1 copyright respector!
I appreciate the places to avoid!

If Wikipedia's page on z-library is any indication, then a Tor link is probably your best bet. Absolutely shocking how they keep an up-to-date link there where anyone can see and use it.

Libgen.li is fine, but yeah, they aren't the most stable right now.

My professor just used to ask the authors of the papers for a copy. I don't think anyone ever had any problems with emailing him a copy of their work. After all they want their work to be cited. That's the whole point

Yeah, how is your research going to do any good if people can't access it? If you want to be in the for-profit industry go work in a for-profit industry.

Yeah, my wife always gives me the gentle reminder to check the library first. I let my library card lapse, but I'll have her sometimes check books out for me before I go pirate them. We have a few friends who work in the system, and every single interaction you have with the library benefits them. The library is a wonderful place, I need to stop being lazy and just go re-register, but my wife is an enabler.

Shh! Don't let them in on our little secret.

Anyone in the entire world can access my scientific research. I presume you’re a scientist too? Do you have results of yours that people can’t access?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Apparently you don’t know what IP is. IP means you create a play, write a novel, write a scientific paper or record a tune. The person who created that IP owns it; it has a value (which does not have to be a monetary value), and that IP is protected by international laws. Making illegal copies of plays, books, movies, music or academic papers damages those IP rights. IP doesn’t mean things are hidden for use by others, it simple means the rights of the original artist or inventor are protected. Sure, some people complain that all of these things should be in the public domain - usually only up to the point where they start creating some IP themselves
so, I do not object at all to share my scientific data, and in fact all my scientific data is available to anyone in the world. But I want to get credit for what I’ve done, I’m not investing dozens of years of my life into science for the well-being of humankind, and some ignorant people come and steal my rights and credit.
