add scihub links
1.0.0
Publishers increasingly include hypertext links in the reference section of scientific articles, which is a first step in improving the readability of scientific articles. However most of these references are behind paywall.
This script attemps to add links to Sci-Hub next to the orginal links towards the publisher website.
At this stage this will only work for PDFs with hypertext links for the references, using the DOI system. This is hopefully what all publishers will be doing in a near future. PLoS and eLIFE have done it systematically for recent articles, so it should work with their articles.
Using pip (prefered): pip install add_scihub_links
Or clone the repository and run add_scihub_links.py (requires pdfrw)
Should work with both Python 2 and 3
Basic use: add_scihub_links input.pdf output.pdf
See full documentation with add_scihub_links -h
See an example of the result here, obtained from this article.
