AFAIK its not really working again? I think there was an upload of a bunch of papers in a batch recently, but not ones that I was hoping for. I'm sort of worried about the past-tense language in this page suggesting that it isn't starting back up again.

#35If only the Nobel Committee would say:- The Nobel Committee will only consider research published under an Open Source Access repository in reviewing published papers for consideration for the Nobel Prize after ~~ June 30, 2022.
This would unleash a horde of hungry cats among those fat pigeons that are the paywalled journals.
There would be a crying and wailing - ending with piles of feathers,(and purring cats), and researchers all over the world, and especially in the many 'third world' Universities whose minds are currently held hostage to budgets and local politics.
The world would gain immeasurably by this simple act!

It is note worthy that most of physics (at least high energy physics) ist published on arxiv.org and open access. I don't know if sci hub bothers with publications that are available freely from an official source.
> published on arxiv.org and open access Don't use the term "open access" like this. A paper published on arXiv is free to read, and was freely published. "Open access" is a scam by the big publishers, where they don't take money from the readers , but make the authors pay. Or, putting it another way, anyone can pay their way in those journals and publish (sometimes sub par) papers.
No, "open access" means that the paper is available to readers for free. Making the authors pay is typically termed "gold open access".

Not that I want to defend open access fees but the way you describe it is incorrect. Paying for open access fees with large publishers like Springer is an option that is separate from the review system, you can only choose it once your paper has been reviewed and accepted.

I mean, even if you limited yourself to just the Peace prize (arguably the most controversial), you'd still have to reconcile your statement with the fact that people like Malala Yousafzai have won.

#40Is there any word about when sci hub is going to start adding new articles again? It's currently only useful as an archive of old research articles. New papers from the last year are not available. I never understood the rationale for stopping new content, though I believe it had some relation to some court case in India...but I don't understand why that was a reason to stop adding articles, and why it hasn't been restarted yet.
