Searches & Resources I Use
If you're cool, you might like these resources.
Here's some searches you can use for looking up interesting science stuff.
- Google Scholar
- Because you really don't need all that Facegram Instabook trash.
- Ecosia
- The search engine that plants trees when you use it.
- Let Me Google That
- When some fuckwit asks questions they could just google for themselves.
- Academia.edu
- So much good science!!
- Sci-Hub
- As the home page tells you,
Access to information is a human right.
This is most useful when you've found a paper on another site and have a DOI, but there's a block and you'd have to pay for access. Often times, you can come here to Sci-Hub and put in the DOI link to get access without the subscription to a semi-annual journal that costs $1,400 a year. So, for example, you find an article on how the Google searches in the Bible Belt are higher for porn than in other areas of the US at https://doi.org/10.1080/00224499.2017.1278736. Copy the link go to Sci-Hub, paste it into the field and click “open” to view the PDF directly. Magic! - RefSeek
