Sci-Hub Tip: Converting Paywall DOIs to Public Access

Filed under: Open Access,Open Data,Publishing — Patrick Durusau @ 7:46 pm

In a tweet Jon Tenn@nt points out that:

Reminder: add “.sci-hub.io” after the .com in the URL of pretty much any paywalled paper to gain instant free access.

BTW, I tested Jon’s advice with:

http://dx.doi.org/10.****/*******

re-cast as:

http://dx.doi.org.sci-hub.io/10.****/*******

And it works!

With a little scripting, you can convert your paywall DOIs into public access with sci-hub.io.

This “worked for me” so if you encounter issues, please ping me so I can update this post.

Happy reading!
