1. For the scientific community, is the emergence of sci-hub good or bad?
Scihub is great, make my life easier, none of the authors benefits financially from the papers and poor people struggle to keep up to date. Some brilliant ideas might get lost.
2. For you, has the emergence of sci-hub really helped you?
Hundreds of pieces I would have never been able to read had sci-hub not been there.
3. What is sci-hub’s next plan? Do you have any good suggestions?
I strongly urge Scihub to consider collecting and making the papers from wosonhj available on their website. Scihub should simply continue to be a source of clandestine content like scientific book sites are, those who want the paper book pay for it, but the scientific books that help work should be accessible to everyone. Scihub should consider collecting the papers shared in wosonhj and making them available on the website via the DOI.
4. Suppose sci-hub really stops working one day, what will you do?
I would be desperate.
5. Any questions you want to ask or anything you want to say
I have difficulty using "wosonhj" because the scientific branches are mixed and I can't always find my area. Also, when I find an item, I can't download it if it's not directed at me or if it's been too long. We should all upload our articles and make them available to others via DOI or other system.
