This study examines data on the worldwide use of the shadow library website Sci-Hub. It focuses particularly on the discipline of development studies, taking a critical look at current practices in scientific publishing and their implications for scientific conduct in this field. In the context of discussions about open science, the data demonstrate that Sci-Hub represents an existing network of open access literature. The study first describes the extent and geographic distribution of download requests from Sci-Hub and then identifies the underlying socio-economic drivers (i.e. GDP and population). The authors find that Sci-Hub is used the most by researchers from the global South, primarily from middle-income countries, whereas researchers from the poorest countries in the data set use Sci-Hub the least. This approach allows some conclusions to be drawn about factors that have an effect on a functioning open access network.

乌鸦可以在哪里交朋友?Sci-Hub 在发展研究图书馆中的活动及其对该领域的影响

本研究调查了影子图书馆网站 Sci-Hub 的全球使用数据。它特别关注发展研究学科,批判性地审视科学出版的当前实践及其对这一领域科学行为的影响。在关于开放科学的讨论中,数据表明 Sci-Hub 代表了一个现有的开放获取文献网络。该研究首先描述了来自 Sci-Hub 的下载请求的范围和地理分布,然后确定了潜在的社会经济驱动因素(即 GDP 和人口)。作者发现,来自全球南方(主要来自中等收入国家)的研究人员使用 Sci-Hub 的次数最多,而数据集中最贫穷国家的研究人员使用 Sci-Hub 的次数最少。
