   Here's a little something I'd like to share with y'all space niggas. If you ever found a scientific journal that caught your interest but couldn't access it due to the presence of a paywall, there are methods in which you can bypass it. One such method is this free service which I've used to cite articles which I would have had to pay loads of money for when writing muh essays and theses: http://sci-hub.tw/
   
   

   Sci-Hub is a website with over 62,000,000 academic papers and articles available for direct download.[2] It bypasses publisher paywalls by allowing access through educational institution proxies. Sci-Hub stores papers in its own repository, and additionally the papers downloaded by Sci-Hub are also stored in Library Genesis (LibGen).

   
   Take for example this article which was just published this month (Enzymatic synthesis of psilocybin; DOI: 10.1002/anie.201705489): http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201705489/abstract;jsessionid=E511AE8003E62ADE9A93030148CE577A.f03t04
   
   If you want to be able to download and save that very article you would have to pay about $57 in order to be able to have such access. But with Sci-hub you just punch in the article's DOI number and it'll take you straight to the pdf. Hope you guys find this handy. You'll be uncovering the hidden knowledge of the new world order/illuminati/masons/jedis in no time.

   it isn't just scientific journals. there are medical, government, law enforcement, and legal journals that do the same bullshit. it's like they think they can have their own secret club.

   You can normally find them in the description page. In the example article link in the OP it is provided as a subheading.
