FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the service
We assist researchers in locating and accessing academic papers through legitimate channels including open-access repositories, university library systems, and interlibrary loan networks. Simply send us the DOI or title via Telegram, and we'll help you get the paper.
Sci-Hub's database hasn't been significantly updated since 2021, meaning most papers published after 2020 aren't available there. We specialize in accessing these newer publications that Sci-Hub can't provide.
It depends on your plan: Basic plan delivers within 48 hours, Pro plan within 24 hours. Many papers are delivered much faster — often within a few hours. Expedited options may be available upon request.
You never pay for what we can't deliver. Here's exactly how it works:
- Subscription plans (Basic, Pro): If we can't find a paper within your plan's delivery window, the request is not counted toward your monthly quota. You keep all your requests.
- Pay-per-credit: If we can't find the paper, the credit is returned to your balance within the delivery window. You can use it for any other paper — no expiration.
We search across multiple library channels and publisher platforms. If none of them have the full text, we let you know promptly. You'll always know the status of each request.
We operate on a credit-based system rather than cash refunds — here's why it's better for you:
- Subscription plans: Unfound papers are simply not counted — you keep your monthly requests
- Pay-per-credit: Unfound papers return the credit to your balance, instantly
- No waiting for refund processing (3–10 business days typical with cards)
- No foreign exchange fees lost on round-trip conversions
- Credits never expire — use them whenever you need
For subscription cancellations, you retain access until the end of your current billing period. We do not prorate partial months.
You can download up to 3 papers per day for free from our website (2019 & earlier + open-access papers). If you need more, upgrade to Telegram for unlimited downloads of older papers, plus access to our team for finding newer publications.
Credits are our in-system currency for pay-per-paper users. 1 credit = 1 paper request.
- If we find the paper: 1 credit is used
- If we can't find it: the credit is returned to your balance
- Credits never expire — use them anytime
- Your first paper is free when you join Telegram
