  Howto: get access to scientific papers

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  since most people are not aware on how to get (free*) access to scientific papers and journals, so here's a short list of resources.. search http://scholar.google.com for the paper.

  maybe you'll get lucky and find it somewhere for free.. if you can only find a paid for version of the paper, get the title, doi (sort of like an isbn number) and link to the download page of the paper on the paysite.. if you don't know the doi, find it by searching your paper's title on http://crossref.org.

  go to the libgen site (links here: https://sites.google.com/site/themetalibrary/library-genesis ) and search for the paper.

  I'm really interested in whatever result you come up with.
  Comparing the timing of JW policy changes to scientific studies related to blood...great topic!

  Update: Images Now Served in WebP Format

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i've pushed an update to the image handling so they are now served using the webp format if the requesting browser supports it.

  currently that is chrome, opera and android mobile but safari is adding support in the next version and there's hope that firefox and edge will get on board soon.. read more about webp.

  webp is a newer image format that can replace jpeg, gif and png but with much better compression rates for the same quality.

  @LUHE, NY44M,

  Thanks for the suggestions.

  @Mandrake,

  Yeah, that's how it works. Unis buy access to those sites, and the sites add the unis' IP address range to their 'these guys are allowed access' list. Saves everybody from having to login all the time. And the VPN connects you to your uni network, making all those sites see you visiting with the uni's IP address. Access granted :-)

  2. If you can only find a paid for version of the paper, get the title, DOI (sort of like an ISBN number) and link to the download page of the paper on the paysite.
  3. If you don't know the DOI, find it by searching your paper's title on http://crossref.org
  4. Go to the LibGen site (links here: https://sites.google.com/site/themetalibrary/library-genesis ) and search for the paper. Try searching on title, DOI and download link address
  5. If out of luck, try http://Sci-Hub.cc and again search on title, DOI and link address.
  6. If still out of luck, go to http://reddit.com/r/scholar and make a request for the paper there. Read the 'sidebar' (right side of the screen) before posting! To make the request, use the [make request] button in the top part of the sidebar. In your request, make sure to include the title, DOI and link to the paid article. Also mention what you already did to find the paper yourself.

  Steps 4-6 may be legally grey or black methods depending on your jurisdiction. Use at your own discretion to research evolutionary biology, bloodless medicine and wild Watchtower quotes ;-)

  Any suggestions for other sources are very welcome!

  Yeah the building was paid for by selling the other ah in the Netherlands + pledged donations.

  Anyone wondering about important issues: bro Tulip aka JW smurf is not in the videos.

  Blunt as it may seem, I have to agree with Cofty and Outlaw.
