Alexandra Elbakyan deserves a Nobel and a presidential pardon. I doubt any other person alive now has made more for science.

I'm in a class right now that requires a DMR locked live service textbook. I can only access it as long as I am connected to the internet. I live where 2 back to back hurricanes just hit so I expected to not have power or internet and wanted to copy some of the text from the textbook into a txt file. However, the DRM detects the copy/paste usage and limits the ability to only copy like 100 words. After a quick search I found out the dumb-asses that created this textbook site put all of the text in tags in the plain html doc.

I have never been anywhere close to academia, hell I don't have a degree at all. However, I am very aware of the bullshit that goes on with publishing. Oddly enough, I occasionally need to read papers on material science or metallurgy.

From my limited experience and understanding, there is no journal for null findings. Isn't that equally important? Tempted to just make something basic for that.

Anyway, to the point of the post - please seed.

Def email the researchers, so many of them would gladly give you access to their research papers because they also hate the science publishing industry.

It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.
