Talk:Papers

Getting access
Journal articles are frequently paywalled, requiring an obscene ~$40 per article to see anything besides their abstracts. Here's some ways around:
 * If you're a student, your university should have journal access for all IPs on its network. If you make friends with a student, you could ask to borrow their login.
 * Even if you're not a student, you can often get a library card at a university library. University library computers will have journal access, so if the library is open to the public you can surf there and save articles to a USB stick.
 * Sci-hub is a proxy that circumvents paywalls for journal access. You can tack .sci-hub.cc on the end of the domain name for a URL you want to access. For instance, if you wanted to go to http://nature.com/some/article.html, change it to http://nature.com.sci-hub.cc/some/article.html. Note that sci-hub is frequently under attack and the legality of using it varies by region, ymmv.
 * Using Sci-Hub Links extension for Chrome and Firefox can be used to automatically translate DOI to sci-hub links
 * The Scholar subreddit lets you post requests for articles. Volunteers will find and upload articles for you, bypassing the paywall.
 * Arxiv hosts free pre-publication articles, but very few in the biology realm.

Finding papers

 * Google Scholar indexes articles, shows citations and "cited bys", impact factor etc.
 * Pubmed offers more granular search options.
