looking at scientific papers where only abstract is visible

[LAJ12345]

Someone posted a way ages ago that allows you to see a whole paper when only the abstract is available. Are you able to repost that or message me please?

Thanks🙂

One can look in worldcat.org for the nearest research library that has a subscription to that journal. Or one can prefix the URL with sci-hub.se/ . If sci-hub.se is down you can try another mirror site, some of which are listed in the handy browser extension Sci-Hub X Now! (for Chrome or Firefox).

Let me know if they won’t let you have it by any chance. I might be able to ask someone to retrieve it for you. But hopefully you have it now. I wonder if some of us could use a brush up on research, free and paid databases, helpful sites, Google Scholar, etc. I know very little about this but I’m just wondering if an online guide would help, specific to our needs or even Zoom time with a nice librarian. I’m sure I rely on Dr. Google too much. So all this may just be something that I need. 😬

yes, definitely is helpful when you strike a paywall.

I tried it and managed to find the paper I needed. So thanks Squirrel! And Godiv for offering to help.
