http://sci-hub.io/
A researcher in Russia has made more than 48 million journal articles - almost every single peer-reviewed paper every published - freely available online. And she's now refusing to shut the site down, despite a court injunction and a lawsuit from Elsevier, one of the world's biggest publishers.
For those of you who aren't already using it, the site in question is Sci-Hub, and it's sort of like a Pirate Bay of the science world. It was established in 2011 by neuroscientist Alexandra Elbakyan, who was frustrated that she couldn't afford to access the articles needed for her research, and it's since gone viral, with hundreds of thousands of papers being downloaded daily. But at the end of last year, the site was ordered to be taken down by a New York district court - a ruling that Elbakyan has decided to fight, triggering a debate over who really owns science.

Can post more details if anyone is interested.
Any gentoomen know how to set up an archive/server of all available files so we can p2p share them before it's taken down?
Pretty awesome. Paywalls on journals kinda sucks. Sometimes you can get some through the uni ... Sometimes
Fucking commies.
>>52953714
Is there a download for all the files or at least a list of them?
>>52953679
How do you use this site? The search returns google search results optimized for finding academic articles, but where's the download link / torrent? What am I missing?
>>52953748

"The site works in two stages. First of all when you search for a paper, Sci-Hub tries to immediately download it from fellow pirate database LibGen. If that doesn't work, Sci-Hub is able to bypass journal paywalls thanks to a range of access keys that have been donated by anonymous academics (thank you, science spies).
This means that Sci-Hub can instantly access any paper published by the big guys, including JSTOR, Springer, Sage, and Elsevier, and deliver it to you for free within seconds. The site then automatically sends a copy of that paper to LibGen, to help share the love.
Last year, a New York court delivered an injunction against Sci-Hub, making its domain unavailable (something Elbakyan dodged by switching to a new location), and the site is also being sued by Elsevier for "irreparable harm" - a case that experts are predicting will win Elsevier around $750 to $150,000 for each pirated article. Even at the lowest estimations, that would quickly add up to millions in damages."
Maybe that will help

How much income do researchers get from publishing papers?
given the DOI syntax
https://www.doi.org/doi_handbook/2_Numbering.html
couldn't we create a script to check every DOI in a range? So it would ask the website to pull the article from the publisher's site, download and then move on to the next one.
Since this would take too much time, we could separate this in thousands of machines.

>>52956905
You're 100% correct. I work as a researcher at a university and I agree that our papers should be public knowledge. Someone mentioned it before, but did you know that we have to pay to publish? It's bullshit, and many other people agree. Luckily, there is an open-access journal called PLoS One, and it's been gaining a lot of traction among researchers from all over because of it's open policy. I just wish there were more open access journals for high quality papers, like an open access 'Nature' or 'Science'.

Adding to what I said earlier,
We can also host these files pretty easily. If you get a chinese botnet cloud account (baidu or the others I forgot), you can get 2 TB for free.
Assuming an average of 1 MB per article, we would need 48 TB to store it all.
Develop an app (android and ios) that accesses sci-hub, and stores the copy in a pre-determined baidu cloud.
So, there. We would have another government who gives no shits about copyright, AND is massive on article production.
This can only be seen as a good thing. We live in 2016, not 1416, and there are absolutely no valid reasons for gating and charging for scientific information. Access should be ubiquitous and free; with the population as large as it is today, the chances that someone out there can make use of said information that benefits humankind as a whole is greater than it's ever been. We can't afford to stifle that.

Fuck these researchers too. As you said, all of their little research is done with taxpayer money, they should be giving away these articles for free to begin with. All researchers are shit heads that don't want to get a real job so they go to college to get into "academia" or "research." Anytime someone tells me they want to go into research or academia I want to kill them. They say it was such pride and arrogance, while I'm making $200k a year with no degree as a programmer.

>>52959292
>implying any corporate entities would keep their research behind paywall
They have every reason to make them freely accessible if only for prestige. It's oftentimes the implementation of the theory that's proprietary and closely guarded (binary blob, etc). Almost all the research Microsoft has done is a good example.
What we're discussing here is the fact that a vast majority of publicly funded research journals being locked behind private paywalls, when they should be available freely. If private research wants to lock theirs behind paywalls, that's fine. The same shouldn't be applied to stuff out of public institutions.

>>52959518
Not him, but public institutions have no obligation to give out their research. I wish all research would be open access, but to say they should be required to be is ridiculous. Tax money goes to the government, which then goes to the researchers. The money is then property of the researchers, that's how grants work.
>>52959289
>Money isn't everything, some people go into fields because they enjoy working in the profession.
That's what say when I bring up when I make more than without a degree as a defense mechanism. They wasted time and money going to college/university, and I didn't, yet I make more money than most college educated people, and it just infuriates them. So they can keep their feeling of superiority, they pull out the "money isn't everything" and "I enjoy my profession" card.
>>52959454
You're a complete fucking idiot, you know that? All of the research whose owners dont want it to get out simply doesn't get published, much less with Elsevier which is the most accessed one. If it gets published in a journal then it's public, it's only hidden there if you don't want/can't pay the publisher the cash for him to unblock the access for you.

Please show me where you can get an external HDD with 50 TB that isn't a server rack that's upwards to $5k.
Please go back to your smartphone containment thread.
>>52961054
are you fucking retarded? That's 12 4TB HDDs which don't even cost $1,5k, that's nothing.
>server rack
>blah blah blah

yeah, fuck off.
>>52961091
>1.5k dollars worth of hard drives
>implying you also don't need extra shit to connect all those drives
>implying you're going to run 12 fucking 4 TB drives without any backups
>>52961091
Cheapest HDD you can get in the TB range, which is a 6TB HDD off of Amazon is around $250, so if you were to 9 of those HDD, along with an NAS + plus the actual configuration to be able to use those drives, that would cost you at least $3k. But, the burden of proof is on you.

lmao the goalposts, they're flying to outer space. Of course it's only possible to store 50TB on enterprise approved server hardware with enterprise approved HDDs with quadruple redundancy and off-site triple backup, yeah, no other way about it.

don't worry, I'm not american so I don't have 10GB caps. It would barely take 5 days to redownload the data of a failed HDD on a normal speed (100Mbps) connection. Not american, again.
This isn't irreplaceable data, it's been backed up by JSTOR or who the fuck ever. Also, it would be far more intelligent to make a freenet-style distributed network where everyone "donates" a couple gigs instead of centralizing everything again. Makes access for different people much faster as well.
>>52961529
it would take 46 days on a 100mbit connection to download 50tb.
even if one drive fails it won't be much of a problem if you don't save everything as one file on one partition. and drives usually only fail if you use them a lot, writing to them once shouldn't be a problem. I'm not that guy though.
>>52961667
4,6 days actually, kinda messed that up.
>>52961660
>>52961667
It doesn't matter if you have a 100 Mb connection, you're downloading all the shit from the same place and they're not going to be sending the shit to you at 100 Mb. As mentioned earlier in the thread there is no torrent yet.
>>52961809
100MB/s=!100mbps
it's 12.5 MB/s
How does it work? Do i just paste the url to the journal's article than I'm looking for?
Is there no way to just look for the article with the title / author?
>>52959564
No they don't you fucking inbred corp shill. Fuck you fuck you fuck you. I have had research grants from my gov and i was repeated reminded that it was funded from tac payer's money. All of the equipments I bought using the grant remains the property of my gov but parked at my public uni. The gov, through my uni holds any patents that I produce, but I get my share of the pie. No where is the grant money is mine to do as I wish. To buy anything with the grant, I have to get 3 quotations and submit to the Bursar for approval. Every quarterly, I have to present progress report to the funding ministry who can withold or terminate the grant at any time. Fuck of corp shill.

I know the difference between a megabyte and a megabit. Your great bandwidth isn't going to change how you're likely only going to be downloading that shit at 1-2 MB/s or 8-16 Mb/s because you're downloading it from one place as there are no torrents available.

Is this comunism

You can't fucking suppress knowledge in the 21st century, she may be a commie but good on her for giving these scum the middle finger
uh, is it just me, or does this look like a russian wrapper of google scholar?
>>52963208
It uses Google Scholar for the searches, but if you go to those pages from Google Scholar you need a subscription to actually view the journals while this gets you past the pay wall.

That's the problem. A lot professions require a bit more than high school level math and a get by knowledge of computers. Try a PhD in electrical engineering.
>>52965173
Your right. Publishers stealing money from scientists and students by charging them to access state-funded research is thieving.
I'm a bit late to the party but wouldn't anyone who needs access to these papers have them through their school anyways? Unless this is just for the purpose of free knowledge, in which case I'm all for it

Back up as much as you can /g/tards
>>52965993
Pretty much
Additionally, it's not like those articles are out of reach for the general public. You have to publish in these journals to get any recognition in academia, but if you email the actual researcher(s) that authored the paper they'll usually just send you it themselves. They want people to read it.
>>52955402
Depend if it has tax dollars behind the research it should be avalible to tax payers

ughhh.. is /g/ just finding out about sci hub now? ive known about it for years. its actually easier to use sci hub than to use my university library system to get journals so i use it a lot lel

how is that possible? i've only attended two universities but in both cases the VPN setup was trivially easy to set up, and when you're on campus networks (which is virtually always) you don't even have to bother with that shit.
how bad are you at google scholar that you need to go off-system?

Seriously that this women has brass ovaries and her view is saddening by how blatant and obvious it should be.
As a person who is going into STEM, this is seriously cutting into any belief I had that corporations didn't hoard their knowledge of science from the public like dragons to villagers, goading anyone to provoke them.
>>52953679
Why are you talking about this on this honeypot? Thanks to you NSA will fuck them up. Fucking kids...
As someone who knows little about academia or scientific journals but has an interest, what should I look up?
>>52960984
less than 10k with redundancy, that's a sacrifice I could make for all the research in the world...
>>52961633
Have you realized most of the world doesn't have gigabit internet?
>>52961660
>I'm not american so I don't have 10GB caps.
That's a cellular plan, not a real internet connection.
Even at 100mbps (mine is faster btw, in US) it's still going to take forever. That is assuming someone else has it for you to download (also has the upload bandwidth to match your down).
>>52963671
Which is still more reliable than hard disks.
Why the fuck did people stop using tape as primary storage, your HDDs and SSDs will never match it in longevity.
I have a 360 terabyte bot server currently caching multiple sites and boards. I may begin caching this too.
>>52972380
>why the fuck did people stop using tape as primary storage
Maybe because search times are fucking atrocious on tapes compared to HDDs and SSDs. Tapes are perfect for long term storage and backups but not for daily use.
>>52972548
The point is miles in the other direction.
what can i download from here
the search function is down
