How do you access (recent) paywalled literature as an independent researcher?

Yeah, it has… :sweat_smile: I am glad to be back, Gavin.

I’ve noticed that arxiv is owned by Cornell University. And this makes it different from Sci-Hub (which is maintained by a rebel). I believe the university still regulates its development. Makes it fit in and as a result slows it down.

All need one central library but now knowledge is distributed in a commercial manner it’s hard to find the solution for both sides (those sides are motivated by completely contrasting forces). I only have revolutionary ones in my mind.
