Sci-Hub is the most controversial project in today science.
The goal of Sci-Hub is to provide free and unrestricted access to all scientific
knowledge ever published in journal or book form.
Today the circulation of knowledge in science is restricted by high prices. Many students and
researchers cannot afford academic journals and books that are locked behind paywalls.
Sci-Hub emerged in 2011 to tackle this problem. Since then, the website has revolutionized the
way science is being done.
Sci-Hub is helping millions of students and researchers, medical professionals, journalists and
curious people in all countries to unlock access to knowledge.
The mission of Sci-Hub is to fight every obstacle that prevents open access to knowledge: be it
legal, technical or otherwise.
