You know[edit]
Paywalled studies, like the one you mentioned, can often be read using Sci-Hub. Sci-Hub entries shouldn't be directly used on citations (copyright reasons), or probably even linked on talk pages, but many people use the site to read such papers. Chillpilled (talk) 18:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Good information to know, thanks. BobJohnson (talk) 18:40, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, Sci-Hub
is blocked in some countries because of copyright lawsuits. Bongolian (talk) 20:09, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- It's sometimes blocked on the ISP level as well. I know some British ISPs do this. In such cases people use Tor, VPN/proxies, or bots on Telegram which retrieve papers. Chillpilled (talk) 20:38, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
