About Sci-Hub
knowledge to all
We fight inequality in knowledge access across the world. The scientific knowledge should be available for every person regardless of their income, social status, geographical location and etc. Our mission is to remove any barrier which impeding the widest possible distribution of knowledge in human society!
no copyright
We advocate for cancellation of intellectual property, or copyright laws, for scientific and educational resources. Copyright laws render the operation of most online libraries illegal. Hence many people are deprived from knowledge, while at the same time allowing right holders to have a huge benefits from this. The copyright fosters increase of both informational and economical inequality.
open access
The Sci-Hub project supports Open Access movement in science. Research should be published in open access, i.e. be free to read. The Open Access is a new and advanced form of scientific communication, which is going to replace outdated subscription models. We stand against unfair gain that publishers collect by creating limits to knowledge distribution.
Today Twitter closed sci-hub’s account. That is very sad.
