I need people to submit more of the research papers that I need to be able to read to lib Gen or sci hub

You might know this already, but try emailing the primary authors directly and asking for a copy, it's often the easiest way to get them if you haven't got any other way to access.

This actually works way better than people expect. Many authors are tied to a publisher but are still allowed to personally give away copies to students.

Yeah. I just don't like trying to email 100+ authors haha. But you are right in general they do like to share most of the time
