Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Oops, dropped these:

How to find things:

  1. Use Anna's Archive (linked above). It uses their database in their search, as well as Libgen and others.

  2. There's also a Telegram bot for Scihub and Libgen which are handy: https://www.reddit.com/r/scihub/s/5p7FCk1IOH https://github.com/1337w0rm/Libgen-Telegram-Bot

  3. Their Tor links are on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub?wprov=sfla1 (check out the see also sections too). Requires a Tor capable browser: https://www.torproject.org/ or https://brave.com/ (Chromium)

  4. For direct links: https://www.reddit.com/r/scihub/s/k6hFIhh51w

  5. Use this free VPN if you don't have one. You will not be able to connect without it on many connections: https://protonvpn.com/

If you cannot find what you need, you have options:

  1. You can post on Wosonhj (above)

  2. Post on Twitter or Masto with the tag #icanhazpdf

  3. Search Research Gate

  4. Email the author

  5. https://unpaywall.org

  6. Many unis require an open access preprint be hosted somewhere these days (worth checking).

Once you start with the plug ins, you'll never go back. :) Been using it for nearly a decade.
