Sci-Hub.se is returning blank white pages (HTTP status 200, no content) for me for many (but not all) papers. Is there another mirror people are using these days?
example failure: sci-hub.se/https://doi.ap

This does seem to be the story (presumably due to litigation?). All the papers with this failure mode are new.

Scihub has not uploaded new papers since December 2020, it's not the mirror that's at fault... :(

(Maybe this is a helpful nudge to avoid reading new papers, almost all of which are unhelpful to my present work? 🙃)

You could always email the authors and ask for the paper. I’m sure they’ll be happy to share 😉

Yes, that's always been true in my experience. But adds a lot of friction to meandering through citation graphs!

r/Scholar/ is the best reddit.com/r/Scholar/
You have SciHub in the sidebar with alternatives but if all else fails, you can directly ask fellow knowledge lovers for help. It usually means you get any paper in hours.

Yep, it's because of a court case in India. This reddit thread has a few more details: reddit.com/r/scihub/comme
Interview with Alexandra Elbakyan on that:
