导读
这篇 TorrentFreak 文章讨论 Sci-Hub 如何绕过学术期刊付费墙,让论文被更广泛地获取,并由此说明盗版在学术传播中可能“危险地有用”。它涉及出版商版权、科研人员使用 Sci-Hub 的现实需求,以及开放获取运动的张力。
为什么经久不衰:它直观呈现了学术付费墙下的知识获取困境和 Sci-Hub 的实际影响,至今仍是开放获取与版权争论中的经典案例。

Sci-Hub 对青少年和业余爱好者尤其重要,因为他们缺乏学术机构获取论文的渠道。
我希望自己十几岁时就有 Sci-Hub。很多次我对某个算法产生兴趣,却只看到 Elsevier 的“此路不通”页面。明明知道知识存在却无法获取、也无从申诉,非常令人沮丧。对我来说,这比学术人员更需要 Sci-Hub 的意义更大。学者要论文可以问同事、查图书馆、给作者或同行发邮件;但如果你是一个 17 岁的人或感兴趣的业余爱好者呢?你没有这些途径,甚至不知道它们存在。

I wish I had Sci-Hub as a teenager. Many times I was interested in some algorithm, but got presented with Elsevier's "you shall not pass" page. Very frustrating to know the knowledge exists but being unable to access it with no recourse. For me this is a more important purpose of Sci-Hub than for academics. If an academic wants a paper he/she can ask colleagues, check the library, email the author or other people in the field. But what if you're a 17 year old, or an interested amateur? You don't have those options, or worse, don't even know they exist.
Sci-Hub 使用开放标准和简单 HTTP/DOI,便于脚本化下载论文。
感谢 Sci-Hub!除了让获取成为可能这一主要好处外,它还有一个很棒的地方:使用开放标准(普通未认证 HTTP、DOI,没有花哨的 JS 混淆)。这意味着当你搜论文看到 DOI 时,可以运行类似 wget --recursive ... https://sci-hub.tw/$DOI 的命令,立刻得到本地 PDF。简直是黑客的梦想!

God bless scihub! Aside from it's primary benefit of making access possible, one of the really nice things about it is that it uses open standards (regular unauthenticated HTTP, DOIs, no clever js obfuscation). This means that whenever you're searching for a paper and see a DOI, you can do something like: wget --recursive --span-hosts --no-directories --accept '*.pdf' --quiet \ --execute robots=off https://sci-hub.tw/$DOI And instantly get a local copy of the .pdf. It's a hacker's dream!
学术界的职业激励仍绑定期刊声誉,阻碍开放获取,但预印本等正在推动改变。
学术界大多数人都在努力推动开放获取政策,我们希望作品尽可能广泛传播!困难在于,发表记录和期刊声誉仍被用来衡量晋升、终身教职、经费等成功指标。如果你的发现能发在 Nature 或 NEJM,出于原则转投别处很难,因为你知道这可能损害未来前景。这种想法正在慢慢改变,生物学预印本的快速增长也很有帮助;越来越多的人认识到传统期刊形式可能对科学并不好。关于出版和学术交流的未来有很多想法和实验正在进行。

Those of us in academia are (mostly) pushing hard for open access policies. We want our work to be disseminated as widely as possible! What makes it difficult is that publications and journal reputation are still used as a measure of success for promotions, tenure, grants, etc. If you have a finding that can be published in Nature or NEJM, it's really hard to go elsewhere out of principle, when you know that it may hurt your future prospects. This thinking is slowly beginning to change, and the rapid growth of preprints in biology is helping a lot as well. There is growing recognition that journals in their traditional form may not be a great thing for science. There are a lot of different ideas about what the future of publishing and scholarly communication look like, and lots of experiments are being done right now.
公共资助科研不应被营利出版商付费墙封锁,arXiv 等开放平台是正面例子。
我一直非常困惑:由公共资金资助的科学研究,怎么会被允许被营利公司放在付费墙后。在我的国家,大多数教授由国家支付薪水,他们的成果应当让公众免费使用。我很高兴在一些领域(比如数学的 arXiv),论文可以直接免费发表、无需荒谬的企业化同行评审,任何人都能自由获取。

I am still absolutely baffled that publicly funded science is allowed to be put behind a paywall by a for-profit corporation. In my country most professors are paid by the state, their work should be free to use by the public. I am pretty glad that in some areas (e.g. math with arxiv) papers can just be published freely, without nonsense corporate peer-review and freely accessible to anyone.
