I'm a young graduate student and face this on a continual basis.

Articles are difficult to find because our university does not pay the subscription charges.

I need to publish my work in quality journals, all of which charge high publication charges. Some are even higher if you want a 'public access' option.

Luckily, there is a growing movement for open research and open publication. Many researchers, myself included, will publish pre-prints and papers to arxiv or self-host them on personal websites.

I'm extremely grateful for sci-hub and just hope I can help end this stifling of scientific research in my own way. All of my work ends up on github/arxiv for anyone to use.
