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.

Ini adalah semua versi dari skrip ini. Hanya tampilkan versi yang kodenya telah diubah.

  • v3.4.3.1 01 Mei 2024

    Donations account updated
  • v3.4.3 06 Juli 2022

    [FIX] Fixed the domain updater so that it now correctly recognizes the real sci-hub website as original.
    [ADDED] Styling in the console log for the domain updater, so that it's easier to see how the script checks sci-hub's current domain.
  • v3.4.2 02 November 2021

    Released under AGPL 3.0 license.
  • v3.4.2 04 Oktober 2021

    In order to make the script ready for sudden Sci-hub's domain changes without intervention, I've introduced an auto-update function that retrieves the new domain from the officila VKontakte page of Sci-hub project. To be able to update, the script needs the permission to connect to vk.com: once a day, the script checks if Sci-Hub can be reached at the known domain and if it can't be reached, the script retrieves the new domain (if it's been updated) from Sci-Hub's official VK account.
    I hope it works as expected! I've mainly tested the autoupdate feature on GreaseMonkey for the moment, but even if it's not working on your browser/userscript manager, the script will fall back to the default domain (currently sci-hub.ru).
    On Tampermonkey you will be asked to confirm the access to a new domain everytime Sci-Hub's domain changes.

    I hope it works as expected: you should see an alert on the first time you use this updated version of the script and any other time the domain changes.
