@jeffowski "three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat" is hilarious 😆 😂

@jeffowski There are good scientific journals that are already free

@jeffowski Also be sure to avoid Arxiv

https://arxiv.org/

@jeffowski @minkorrekt

@jeffowski @petergleick another pro tip, just email the authors. I’ve always been able to get a copy of an article and answers to my questions by talking with the authors.

@jeffowski

The scary part is that these days, I can't tell if it was meant to be sarcastic or not 🤣

@jeffowski Thanks for the alert. I was about to do a search on https://sci-hub.se. Now I know it was a bad idea.

@jeffowski there is also this libgen website where you can get scientific manuals for free, here is the adress so you don't go there by mistake https://libgen.is/

@jeffowski darüber sollte @minkorrekt auch mal wieder aufklären

@jeffowski Its important to explain this to your students. In detail and with slides, like, otherwise they don't know which website they should never, ever use.

@jeffowski. Gràcies!!!

@jeffowski well... Writing my doctorate, I bought articles for about 2.000€ (and wrote them off via tax refund down the road later) and that's just.

But I agree: I was indeed privileged to have 2.000€ to spend and via that tax-reclaim, indeed the public paid for this little part of my doctorate, and I paid it back through good medical service and determination.

But everyone seeking knowledge and enlightenment should always have free access to science.

Professionals should have to pay.

@jeffowski It's missing the URL so I can add it to my blocklist

Long live #AaronSwartz

@jeffowski In hindsight it was a major mistake switching from Latin to the vernacular.

@jeffowski And don't change your DNS to circumvent the censorship of Sci-Hub.

@jeffowski this is bait

@jeffowski
I have tried, but not all doi numbers can be found. The cake is a lie ;) You can ask the authors of the papers though, some will just hand you a free copy if you ask nicely

@jeffowski good to know :P

@jeffowski As a teacher of IB and the high school students being told to access academic and peer reviewed journals in order to get the top marks in their IA and EE essays... This is great help. Thanks!

@jeffowski

Do not accidentally dissolve this brick of grapes

@jeffowski Fun fact: the scientists themselves don’t get any cut whatsoever when people buy the articles.

@jeffowski #KnowledgeIsFree!
Do not forgive and do not forget that...
