Here's another trick for obtaining free articles: write an email to the author and ask for a copy. We have to pay to publish on journals and don't see a dime, so we really don't care if you pirate it.
And wait for days to weeks if it didn't just go into the spam folder?
Just put the penultimate draft on arxiv or researchgate like the rest of us.
Then why publish with terms like that? Aren't there better alternatives like arxiv?
All knowledge should be free and unrestricted, pirating papers is completely morally and ethically justified.
Does the "email the paper authors" actually work? I've tried it lik twice but never got a response π
Well, many people are busy, but yeah it should usually work. ResearchGate makes this even easier, because you can directly see who is requesting a paper and sometimes as an author you've got the paywalled paper already uploaded in researchgate.
I remember my first week using research gate and spamming the request paper button.
Unrelated, but I saw my neighbor chasing his kid, whoβs probably like 8, full speed down the street and the kid was actually pretty fast
Baby legs are no joke! You blink and they're already halfway across the house. It only gets worse as they get older.
