Are there scientists that don't know libgen or scihub?

Scihub hasn’t been updated since 2020! But anyway arxiv has a lot of important features specifically for academic papers (eg quality control, categories, browsing, issuing dois, etc)

Do you know the latest on that? Are they still holding their breaths over that court case in India?

I have no idea (but wish I knew). I’m embarrassed to admit it took me years to even notice that it wasn’t being updated anymore

Okay, I found out that on Reddit [0] that you can follow for updates on the website of High Court of Delhi [1] (though you may need a VPN as it seems to be geo-blocked).
