Any sources to get scientific papers for my own interest? Doesn’t really matter if available as torrents or on the web to view. Thanks in advance!
You could try Sci-Hub and LibGen. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can always email the authors or other scholars who may have access to the paper you’re interested in. A less alternative site would be arXiv, but it just has preprints.
Emailing the author has quite a good succes rate. Many just forced to use a publisher to get it out but love giving their paper to those who are interested.
Atleast that’s my experience in trying to get certain papers for my studies.
I’ve heard you can just email one of the authors of the paper, if you’re looking for a specific one.
Anna’s Archive just added an academic papers feature called SciDB: https://annas-archive.org/
Scihub for most things. You can also sometimes find preprints (or contact the authors) on RG.
Sci-hub almost has everything, but you can access the rest by using a University account that pays for access
Unfortunately I’m not in University. Just reading them for personal learning. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Also see Nexus Search (@science_nexus_bot) on Telegram.
A lot of research can be downloaded if it’s open access. If it is not, you can request papers to the authors, this is really easy in platforms like ResearchGate. Others have also mentioned SciHub if you are okay with the arrr option.
Anna’s archive has a lot of scientific papers.
you might want to Google “Alexandra Elbakyan”, for research of course 👀
PAY THE AUTHORS THEIR FAIR SHARE YOU THIEF. RAPE HETEROSEXUAL PIRATES UP THE ASS.
