#freescience — Public Fediverse posts

Often research are led with public money, and the results put behind paywalls by “publishers” whose role seems today more and more anachronistic.

You know the drama maybe with sci-hub, z-lib, libgen, etc...check out the weird-ass seizure notice with a (IMO) absolute failure in messaging...they don't seem to be swimming in pools of stolen money, rather, looks like they just live in a rural area...but ok.

Just in case you didn't know, there's a meta-search site called annas archive annas-archive.org (with shitty-but-working download mirrors)

and z-library.sk is the current official domain.

and sci-hub seems to be back up and running (multiple domains e.g. sci-hub.se)

Just stop putting your research behind paywalls
