Bypass paywalls for scientific documents

Bypass paywalls for scientific documents by downloading them from sci-hub instead of paying something like 50 bucks for each paper. This script adds download buttons on Google Scholar, Scopus and Web Of Science, which lead to sci-hub.tw. In this way you can get free access to scientific papers even if you (or your university) can't afford their prices.

Hi, I've added again the button in the https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri pages, it's near "Export Download More..." buttons now.

Thanks for your effort, but the page of https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri has changed several days ago, the button disappeared.

Hi, I would like to keep updating this script also for Scopus, but now my university account has expired and I can't access anymore to the site.
By the way I've updated the script with some debugging code: if you want to help me, check in the browser's console for strings starting with "::Bypass paywalls": you should see something like this:

::Bypass paywalls for scientific documents:: Obtaining document id...
::Bypass paywalls for scientific documents:: Error! TypeError: document.getElementById(...) is null

If you can tell me exactly which error is reported, I can try to fix the script.
