@EposVox @xenotar I have emailed authors in the past and never got a response. Sci-Hub seems to be far more efficient in this matter.
#academia is filled with people who think they are just better than others. Of course it is not 100% but you get the point here right?
@caiocgo @EposVox Perhaps this varies according to the research area. I never had problems with reprint requests, even in the old paper reprint times.
