Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Dunno what Sci-Hub is, but most researchers are happy to send you a copy of their paper on request - and this is completely legal. Their email address is usually on the abstract.

Why wouldn't they be? It's not like they're getting royalties from these journals...

Not owning it can get them in trouble for sharing

It depends on the publishing agreement
