JSTOR downloads

I want to download an article from JSTOR without paying $34. It’s from 1958. That’s outrageous.

Aside from wanting just text on my screen, without all the visual clutter, I want to be able to highlight & look up or translate. They’ve messed click-&-drag copying. If you try to copy a block of text, you don’t get the 1st and last few characters from each line. If you highlight a word or 2 to look up or translate, you don’t get all the characters you highlighted but you do get some you didn’t want. Also, I like being able to highlight a PDF I own.

Didn’t JSTOR used to give a couple of freebies/month or something like that?

Thanks.

If you have trouble finding a functioning mirror for the crow, you can get scihub links also from Library Genesis and Anna’s Archive

What’s JSTOR

maxprime ,

It’s an academic article database with a notorious paywall.

In addition to the excellent sci-hub.se suggestion…

I can find the paper for free 90% of the time by googling the authors and visiting their personal page on their university’s website.

Found it. sci-hub.se Get link from JSTOR, then paste it into sci-hub. Startpage/Google/Bing/Yahoo weren’t any help. Yandex came through.

Find a student at a university whose student accounts get access to jstor.

Or your local library. They often have access.

Aaron Swartz was upset about the same thing…

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz#United_States_…

According to state and federal authorities, Swartz used JSTOR, a digital repository, to download a large number of academic journal articles through MIT’s computer network over the course of a few weeks in late 2010 and early 2011. Visitors to MIT’s “open campus” were authorized to access JSTOR through its network; Swartz, as a research fellow at Harvard University, also had a JSTOR account.
