That's why we need repositories like the arXiv, the medRxiv and Sci-Hub (aaahr, my pirates!)

except Sci-hub hasn't been adding new papers since 2020. Anna's Archive is a better bet, because they aggregate both sci-hub and libgen, among others. They also make torrents available for data hoarders.

You're right about Sci-Hub because of their Indian lawsuit which is very important to them, but I didn't know that Anna's Archive was a repository of scientific journals. Is it? I know Library Genesis (or LibGen) has a lot of scientific textbooks, but I didn't know it had papers. Does it?

Anyhow, Anna's Archive and LibGen are super awesome too!
