Did Sci-Hub start working again? Last time I checked it wasn't adding new papers because of some legal thing going on in India.
Yes - see https://twitter.com/ringo_ring/status/1492419986291408898
i asked this question here and at many places before. why do people "rely" on an organization that sifts through hundreds of thousands of papers and then charge exorbitant prices for providing this service? if we use the amazon analogy, is amazon with millions of products worse than a boutique cat food seller that specializes in a specific cat food for a specific cat breed? maybe. but what about the "rest" of product…
Is 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 re…

How come we don't have extensive software for helping doctor decision making by making use e.g of bayesian inference while feeding on the available superintelligence that enable those 24 millions paper? Expert systems long passed the hype curve and it's time for them to cycle up again!

They had resumed adding articles after receiving legal advice that the Delhi High Court injunction only applied for a few months. https://mobile.twitter.com/ringo_ring/status/143435621720862...
Scihub used to be a great resource, now it's only a resource for old research. Still useful for background material, but not for current work.
I also don't understand why the Indian court case has any impact on new article availability. The owner is not Indian. The servers and domains are not Indian. There doesn't seem to be any actual reason to stop adding new articles, other than some idiotic halfbaked point that only hurts the people who need the articles, like when Project Gutenberg banned anyone from a German IP, except this is much worse since there is no way around it for people who need new papers.

There's some truth to "publish or perish". Scientists are expected to publish in prestigious journals.

Because research can be controversial. There’re papers in my field saying patients have increased frequency of certain cells. There’re other papers saying they’re not. Go figure.

I saw that tweet, but it doesn't change the material reality: try plugging in some DOIs from recent article from the last year, and they will not be there.
