Im sure a lot of you, dont want to rely on org for research
so heres everything you need to get started.
First i'd like to give credit to @Menas for the first 4 tools i'll send and if you want to read his thread about it, here : https://looksmax.org/threads/why-you-shouldnt-rely-on-org-for-research.1566159/
The Tools:
" PUBMED:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
this site is kind of water but contains great information in it.
PERPLEXITY AI:
https://www.perplexity.ai/
as much as you shouldn't rely on artificial intelligence,
this model is great to gather information since it was specifically made for research.
THE LENS:
https://www.lens.org/
A large aggregator that includes data from PubMed, Crossref, OpenAlex, patent offices, and others,
making it a comprehensive research tool beyond PubMed's scope.
GOOGLE SCHOLAR:
https://scholar.google.com/
it includes a broad range of scientific and medical literature, offers citation tracking, and can locate grey literature and free full-text papers.
Studies suggest it retrieves more relevant articles than PubMed in some clinical contexts. (again credit to @Menas of all of this)
Now here are other tools i've found and videos that can help you.
SCI-HUB:
https://www.sci-hub.in/
A lot of scientific papers are blocked by a pay wall, sci-hub gives you those papers without the pay wall, on a pdf.
but a lot of papers form the last few years havent been uploaded, reason is unknown.
SCIENCE HUB MUTUAL AID:
https://www.pidantuan.com/
This website allows you to request article from others users, can be a 2nd option if you cant find your article on SCI-HUB. Works really well.
Also sci-hub and mutal aid url might change so to find it again just type the name on google.
ZOTERO:
https://www.zotero.org/
Once you've downloaded all your articles, how are you gonna organize them? ZOTERO does that for you, it is free and open source
It also has a browser extension that allows you to download the article along with the pdf if it can find it and a SCI-HUB plugin that you can install here:
https://github.com/syt2/zotero-scipdf/releases/tag/V8.0.4
that will get the PDF directly from SCI-HUB directly if necessary.
Playlist with videos:
The videos im currently watching and the tools i found are all from haircafe's videos, i recommend it a lot and also his channel
for those who don't know hes basically a guy obsessed abt everything on hair loss and how to defeat it, he post lots of videos abt studies he found on products,
diet and habits etc to defeat hairloss so if your interested in that you should check him out.
so heres everything you need to get started.
