Sci-Hub
the first pirate website in the world to provide mass and public access to tens of millions of research papers
A research paper is a special publication written by scientists to be read by other researchers. Papers are primary sources neccessary for research – for example, they contain detailed description of new results and experiments.
papers in Sci-Hub library:
more than 84,794,279
At this time the widest possible distribution of research papers, as well as of other scientific or educational sources, is artificially restricted by copyright laws. Such laws effectively slow down the development of science in human society. The Sci-Hub project, running from 5th September 2011, is challenging the status quo. At the moment, Sci-Hub provides access to hundreds of thousands research papers every day, effectively bypassing any paywalls and restrictions.
If it were not for Sci-Hub – I wouldn't be able to do my thesis in Materials Science (research related to the structure formation in aluminum alloys)
There's been some talk this week about our friends at @USNatArchives needing help from folks who can read cursive to transcribe historical documents. We could use your help with that, too! We launched our crowdsourcing transcription program By the People in fall 2018. 🧵 @librarycongress#history#documents#Transcription
