    That kind of work flow is ok if you have good access to subscriptions but need one obscure paper. Its not an efficient or reliable work flow for many and largely excludes older papers.

      It also rarely works for any paper/article older than 20 years.

      Heck, my sister’s asked me to get papers she’s co-authored off of scihub for her, and those have been published within the last 10 years

      It’s not a one-size fits all, that’s for sure. But I have no subscriptions to anything, and I wouldn’t describe anything I do with “work flow.”
