I was recently unable to find a particular journal article I wanted to read that was referenced in something else I was reading. I only could find an abstract on Google Scholar, and nothing at all on Z-lib. I was able to get a full copy by just emailing the author at her university (I guess its true that most of them will give you a PDF if you ask. they are just glad SOMEONE is actually reading their work). But now that I have it, I fell obligated to share it with the world, the question is, where is the best place to put it?

You might want to get her permission before sharing it. She might be okay sharing it individually, but not publically.

I think you don't know anything about scientific publishing.

@RootBeerGuy @kia I know it costs a shit ton, and the only people who ever seem to read it are the other people quoting it, and its just as much bullshit as every other IP.

Yeah it's not so much about cost in my eyes. The conferences I publish at are in the $500-$1000 range to attend once your paper gets accepted, not cheap but not too crazy, and grants take care of that cost anyways.

I was saying it'd be more of a curtousy for you to get permission before distributing.

Huh only 1k? Most IEEE and Scopus indexed confers and Open Access at 1,5K to 2,2K...😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, yeah I just realized mine are also in that range. I forgot about the student discount.

@kia information is free, I don't need to ask permission, that's just giving them a chance to say NO

There's a difference between distributing a huge corporation's work versus an individual researcher's paper...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah researchers want their life work known and journals just want $$$

@kia @ryannathans no there's not.
