Most scientific literature is published in for-profit journals that rely on subscriptions and paywalls to turn a profit.

Governments and funding agencies are requiring that the science they fund be published in open-access journals.

Despite losses in publishing industry lawsuits and attempts to block access, Sci-Hub continues to serve up research papers.
