Maybe because I’m laymen but this website makes zero sense to me. A link/button with the title in file name format which leads to a page with dollar amount to purchase? Purchase what? Is this a study? An essay?

If you are using Shortcuts App, you can also try this shortcut: https://www.reddit.com/r/scihub/comments/altw9l/shortcuts/

Those accessing the site from academic networks (where their institutions have paid for the correct subscriptions, that is) will be able to read the paper.

For everyone else, bookmark the following:

  javascript:window.location='http://sci-hub.tw/'+window.location

Then you can just click it whenever you encounter an academic paywall to get a copy the article.

FWIW, Sci-Hub doesn't seem to have this. Yet.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks very much for the info and the js trick.
