How to Access Research Articles for Free

The “Robin Hood of Science” continues to provide 60+ million scientific papers to anyone in the world for free at sci-hub.pub/

Sci-hub.io was shut down since I recorded this, but the site can currently be reached at sci-hub.pub/ and five other domains. Should that one get yanked too (can always see the updated active link list on the Sci-Hub Wikipedia page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub)). Links provided for educational purposes only—literally!

But wait, isn’t illegal to download “pirated” papers? I explore the controversy in the thrilling conclusion of this two-part video series in Sci-Hub Opens Up a World of Knowledge (nutritionfacts.org/video/Sci-Hub-Opens-Up-a-Wor…) up next.

My research into Sci-Hub came from a whole webinar I did on research techniques, which was captured into an online Continuing Medical Education course through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Check it out at How to be an Evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner (lifestylemed.education/Course/view/624278). I’m hoping to have a whole series of courses coming soon—stay tuned!
