For what it's worth, reddit.com/r/scholar is a much better resource for exactly the same purpose.


Also if somebody isn't aware, Google Scholar finds all sources of articles and there's usually a PDF available somewhere.


Mm... I'm not sure about that. Google Scholar is a good resource, that's true. But there are hundreds of papers I've looked for that are simply not accessible without proper access.

That said, I don't support this site.


Are you clicking through the "All x versions" link? There are often pdf versions that are mistakenly out in the open (i.e. on some random university web server).


Well, I have used Scholar pretty extensively and I'd say that most papers are available somewhere without db access when clicking on the 'view all'. I think it depends on the research field though, I've been using it mostly for CS and EE related papers.
