    You mean a research article published prior to 2022? Sadly there are no longer any updates

      It’s not like sci-hub hosted anything, AFAIK. Didn’t it just circumvent paywalls?

      If I’m right (and fucking Elsevier & co. didn’t patch the security holes) it should still work, but the sci-hub proxy sites are most likely defunct.

      As those in the know can probably tell, I didn’t keep up with the whole takedown, but I do miss that easy access to research articles.

        No pretty sure it was an actual pdf database. I think there are mirrors that allow you to access all of Alexandra’s wonderful work. But nothing new is being added due to legal injunctions. Such a shame. Alexandra has added more to scientific advancement than most scientists themselves. Removing the barriers to shared scientific data is one of the greatest piracy feats ever accomplished.

          Oh man, what a headache to maintain! If that’s the case I understand why the resource deprecated after 2020.

          Agreed on the project’s impact and importance! Raising a small altar to Alexandra Elbakyan right here.
