I was recently unable to find a particular journal article I wanted to read that was referenced in something else I was reading. I only could find an abstract on Google Scholar, and nothing at all on Z-lib. I was able to get a full copy by just emailing the author at her university (I guess its true that most of them will give you a PDF if you ask. they are just glad SOMEONE is actually reading their work). But now that I have it, I fell obligated to share it with the world, the question is, where is the best place to put it?

Check academia.edu

I have never used it, but seems like my uni is uploading there. Im getting emails when someone is reading my article

@rambos@lemm.ee if I recall correctly I had used that before, and it didn't seem legit. (Unlike Friendica, it appears blocked from my work VPN)

I was under the impression that who could get the .edu tld was restricted only to schools and other acredited educational institutions?
