Isn't it odd that researchers who should be pros at caring about and finding the most correct metrics for every topic are obsessed with a proxy for quality that is just about the most disjoint possible? It should be embarrassing.
Unfortunately, it's commonly not researchers that create academic circles, it is publishers and other entities with vested interest in making us publish more garbage.
Scientific world is corrupt as hell.
She knows not to travel. The organizer.
But tbh - even zlibrary creators got away from Argentina, they should make a movie about it one day.
Dunno what Sci-Hub is, but most researchers are happy to send you a copy of their paper on request - and this is completely legal. Their email address is usually on the abstract.
I have never ever gotten a response from a researcher :(
That's too bad - I've seen posts from scientists, or people who claim to be, saying what I said.
I am a scientist and you are right. If I get a message asking for my work, I will send it. It will also make me happy that someone is interested. It happens regularly, usually via researchgate.
Please send me a copy too
If you send me your emailadress I will send you some papers
PMd you my mail
Probably depends on if theyre still at the institution the research was done.
As the first author of a fair few papers during grad school, I don't have that email address anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also not in academia.
I was trying to get more info on a paper I read for a final project in my senior year. Couldn't get anything back. Their PhD thesis was on spotted lanternflies and how temps impact them
Why wouldn't they be? It's not like they're getting royalties from these journals...
Not owning it can get them in trouble for sharing
It depends on the publishing agreement
So making access to information free is helping scientific progress? Wow, who could have imagined that!
no no no you see, putting papers behind paywalls actually incentivizes innovation because... wait what?
Noted. Will upload my future papers on SciHub myself. /j. Or am I? Vsauce music plays Did you know vegetables are a social construct?
A sandwich is also a social construct. But not every social construct is also a sandwich.
If scientists didn't have to pay obscene prices to view articles, those articles are cited more often. Who would have thought?
I personally like scihub because it's easier to get papers off of rather than going through my library's portal for a lot of journals.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
