This is quite new. Just wanted to share. (The link is from Sci-Hub, so the whole thing seems legit).

Requires buying crypto to get an invite code for the sign up process though...Which sucks as I'd love to provide some new papers I have access to through my college. Such as the new one from yesterday on the newly classified Hawaiian carnivorous caterpillar.

Does it really? sad. I was reading the "invite" process and can't say I fully understand it.

Papers can always be uploaded to https://libgen.is/scimag/librarian/ Many thanks to all the anonymous users who do.

Why the crypto? What's an "knowledge economy"?

[-] halm@leminal.space 3 points 2 months ago

It's just the inevitable exploitation of any word that van be randomly put next to "economy". It's a bullshit con is why.
