Oops, dropped these:

How to find things:
-
Use Anna's Archive (linked above). It uses their database in their search, as well as Libgen and others.
-
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
-
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)
-
For direct links: https://www.reddit.com/r/scihub/s/k6hFIhh51w
-
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:
-
You can post on Wosonhj (above)

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