Here’s a secondary reading list of some of the material that’s out there on LibGen and other academic pirate platforms.

Thanks, Martin. Also see these tag libraries from the Open Access Tracking Project (#OATP, @oatp):

* items tagged with "oa.libgen" (today, 66)
tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/…

* items tagged with "oa.sci-hub" (today, 81)
tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/…

* items tagged with "oa.guerrilla" (today, 1138) (this captures items on libgen, sci-hub, and related initiatives)
tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/…

All of these are crowdsourced and updated in real time.



This week, we joined @crossref Accra, where our CMO shared our contributions to advancing #openscience through the LIBSENSE programme. He talked about our #repositories, PIDs service and publishing platform - libsense.ren.africa/home. Watch out for the 'PIDs Clinic' 🤗 at #WACREN2025 in 🇸🇳

This is the first time #CougarCubs have been verified since the big cats were hunted out of existence in #Michigan in the early 1900s, said Brian Roell, large carnivore specialist for the MDNR. Roell, a #wildlife biologist for 26yrs, led the team that verified the cubs.

“It’s pretty exciting, considering this could be the first known cougar reproduction in modern times in the western #GreatLakes states,”said Roell, referring to Michigan, Wisconsin & Minnesota.

Trump: "In major cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington, mothers can't walk their children to the park without fear of being shot, or killed, or raped, or anything. Women can't ride the subway without worrying that a hoodlum will shove them onto the train tracks."
