Other ways to freely access science
Be sure you have tried to access the websites directly by their IP addresses.
Quick fix 1: use web proxys
Quick fix 2: use Tor network
| Quick fix 3: use custom DNS
If your access to Sci-hub is blocked by the Internet Service Provider (when it resolves the DNS), you can bypass it and customize your DNS instead. It is easy to configure with this video for Windows or here for mac. I recommend using OpenDNS:
Primary: 208.67.222.222 Secondary: 208.67.220.220 Preferred IPv6: 2620:0:ccc::2 Alternate IPv6: 2620:0:ccd::2 Then you should be able to access sci-hub here or there. |
Last hope fixes
 | Read the Reddit Libgen thread If any website above or below is down, you can still access it using some tricks fromthis reddit page, which includes how to use unblocked.onl, betternet or zenmate extensions, and hidebux. This is poorly explored territory for me. |
Public repositories and aggregators to browse the repositories
Websites down / failing solutions
Telegram: after installing the App or firefox extension Telegram, it was possible to send the DOI to @scihubbot and the bot would answer with a link to the pdf of the article. It did not work for me.

Why using Sci-hub and LibGen - is it fair?
of course it is, and to understand, I recommend to read the following writings
Does scientific knowledge fall under intellectual property laws?
Under section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976, the fair use of a copyrighted work is not copyright infringement. It includes reproductions for purposes such as “criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research." So we should be able to access sci-hub legally, provided we access it for research purposes, which could be made clear by putting a disclaimer to grant access to sci-hub.
So far, courts have been interpreting the "fair use case" differently, condemning Sci-Hub. Many intellectuals argue that science should be public and therefore free of intellectual property, at least for the matter of diffusion of the knowledge. Some authors advocate for civil disobedience: e.g. the Guerilla Open Access Manifesto (the author, Aaron Swartz, faced so much legal retaliation that he commited suicide).

What else can I do?
- Decide not to review abusive journals and sign the petition: The Cost of Knowledge
- Check whether a journal is green in the SHERPA/RoMEO base before submitting, editing or reviewing
- Share your own articles on public repositories (see list above)
- Avoid Open Access predatory journals. Beall's controversy list references those journals and is archived here (it was suddenly closed in 2017, potentially after OMICS publisher threatened for a 1$-billion lawsuit / see also this).
- Download various encyclopedic series to preserve them
- Sci-hub.org (UK) - closed in 2015
- Sci-hub.io - Closed in april 2016
- Libgen.biz - closed in 2016
- Libgen.in (India) - closed in 2016
