Request Full-Text Papers Here

I’ve seen a couple people wanting full access of different papers. If you can’t find it on Sci-Hub or Anna’s Archive (because it’s recent), you can request access here and someone might be able to get you the paper, or if no one responds you can try the Scholar subreddit: reddit.com/r/scholar

Remember, for those that fulfill requests, that publishers usually fingerprint PDF’s with metadata for identification so if you want use something like https://dangerzone.rocks/ to remove metadata (it scans into images then OCR’s it, then compress it).

More fun publisher surveillance:
Elsevier embeds a hash in the PDF metadata that is unique for each time a PDF is downloaded, this is a diff between metadata from two of the same paper. Combined with access timestamps, they can uniquely identify the source of any shared PDFs.
