I realize there is our lord and savior https://sci-hub.se/ but I could not find some academic articles and books over there. I am assuming it's mostly academic papers about STEM subjects? I am looking towards pirating literature papers from academia.edu

Any clue how I can do this? I am feeling not so great about torrents anymore. I mean, I love em still, but for topics with low numbers of seeders like literature and books, it's hard to procure them through piratebay.

So yeah! I want academic articles, books, pdf everything that is published and is hidden behind a paywall, how can I get this?

Also, I am using Tor to ask these questions, how well does it hide my identity? I haven't given lemmy.ml my email either. So, my existence here is truly virtual tbh!

For scientific studies you're basically stuck with scihub and unpaywall.
