Sci-Hub, I'm ashamed to only recognize you now. When I saw it yesterday, I thought it was just a regular MEME.

Maybe I have been away from school for too long. After I realized it, I decided to spare no effort to support.

Sci-Hub allows people to access the latest research papers for free, driving progress in human society. Support Sci-Hub, support fairness and justice, support knowledge belonging to all of humanity, support human advancement.

First, let's talk about a major issue in current academia.

We all know that the most cutting-edge scientific achievements are published in journals, such as Science and Nature. It can be said that all technological advancements that change the world originate from here, which is the cradle driving human society.

But what you don't know is that these crystallizations of human wisdom, which ordinary people want to obtain, require very expensive costs.

And this money is not paid to the author, and the author will not get a penny. It is all taken by the journal and related stakeholders.

Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable. But once this kind of pattern is formed, there is no way to change it. Because researchers need to demonstrate their research level by publishing journals with impact factors, citations, etc. If they were Nobel Prize winners, they wouldn't need these. But for most people applying for research funding, changing jobs, and communicating with peers, their research results can only be published in these places.

Currently, research institutions and universities will make centralized purchases. However, there are still significant issues, such as when I was pursuing my PhD, some papers were not included in the school's purchase list and I needed to ask my American classmates to help download them.
There are also countries and regions with limited funding, where research conditions are even more difficult.

In the world of science, this is not scientific at all. The crystallization of human knowledge should belong to all humanity, rather than being used as a tool for certain interest groups to make money.

Secondly, let's talk about: Sci-Hub
Simply put, Sci-Hub is to provide these scientific research papers for free, obtain papers in various ways, and everyone can freely download them.

Nature has been sued by all parties. The founder has been accused by multiple parties. You can check the records on WiKi yourself, demanding millions of dollars in compensation everywhere.

My own personal experience is that when I was writing an article, I started to frequently use sci-hub. However, it would often be blocked, so they would leave a mirrored guidance website. At that time, I thought, how come such a good website is treated like a pornographic website, needing to change its location regularly. So sad, so sad.

By now, you should be able to understand the enormous significance of sci-hub.

Finally, I would like to remind a few words.
I suggest you look at it in two parts, one part you want to participate in as a meme. It has a price, may go up or down, and even drop to zero.

And another part, frugality is for the sake of supporting Sci-Hub, supporting fairness and justice, supporting knowledge belonging to all humanity, and supporting the progress of humanity.
