A FREE paper resource&nbsp;As you know, purchasing research papers can be expensive.In your materials you learned about some ways to find FREE research papers, such as using the “free” filter in a search, using your local library as a source, and using the ResearchGate site where the researchers themselves might have uploaded the paper.Well, we wanted to share one more resource with you.It’s called <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sci-hub.se/#about">Sci-Hub</a>.And its goal is to “remove all barriers in the way of science”.So how do you use it?You would first need to create a literature search in PubMed, Google Scholar, or another search engine.Then, find the papers which you want to read but were not freely available.Next, you have a couple of options. In the Sci-Hub search box you can enter:<ul><li>The abstract page URL</li><li>The PMID number (which is found on the abstract page)</li><li>The DOI number (which is found on the abstract page)</li></ul>Not all papers will be returned.But you just may find the paper that you are looking for.That being said, there is some controversy about this site.&nbsp;There may be discontent by certain publishers who prefer that all content is purchased through them, and have launched a lawsuit against Sci-Hub.&nbsp; But a lawsuit on its own doesn't make something 'illegal' (only once there's been a ruling or a law that's clearly been broken).However, some internet providers, err on the side of caution and have blocked the site whereas other internet providers do not.This means that it may or not be available in your area, and you may prefer not to use it, and go through some of the other means mentioned in your course.
