    Anyone know of a site where I might find whitepapers or research text for free? Specifically looking for bioinformatics/computational biology, machine learning and OS security. Subjects are extremely varied I know. This is very firmly in the world of academia. Google Scholar returns a zillion hits, but it almost seems like every single good possible can only be downloaded from acm or ieee for $$$.

        Yeah, it was a shot in the dark anyways. I just thought someone else might know of something that slipped by me.

          I do think there's one thing you can do, but not sure on the legality of this. Plus not sure if it works. I remember I was looking for information on a certain topic (cant remember what it was..), and google returned an impressive number of PDFs. When I clicked on any of them, however, I was taken to a page that said something along the lines of "pay us $XYZ and we'll give you access to the file". So, google saw a pdf file, and indexed it, while I had to pay. I didnt think of this at the time, but I guess you could switch your browser's UserAgent string to the one that Googlebot uses, and perhaps that way you will be able to see the pdfs (if you get links like I did). Naturally, I cant find a single link like that to test the method :(:^)

          "impossible" is just an opinion.

            Don't university libraries carry that sort of thing? It's a long time since I've seen the inside of one, but they always seemed to have - or could get hold of - just about anything.

              I think they detect Google based on the IP address, not user agent. Lots of those sites offer campus licenses to universities, you might be able to access the PDFs from the university network. My university has such a license, I just have to VPN into their network and those pay-per-paper sites start offering free downloads.

                Its true I study at an American university, however, the locale happens to be the Middle East. I'll stop right there whilst you let that thought roll about in your mind.

                  I will double check with my University tomorrow, but the librarian is a right b4stard and would simply sabotage any attempts I might make out of sheer spite. Not to mention that this is the Middle East we're talking about.

                        Try Google advanced search and search for your specific topics but limit the domains to .edu. I've had a lot of luck finding technical papers posted on professor's and grad student's personal pages on the university sites.

                        If you don't have the data, you're just another asshole with an opinion.

                          I'm a member of IEEE. If you email me links I can probably get some for you.

                            First find an exact paper you want then search for the exact title of the paper. Most of the times authors keep a draft version on their website. -Saurabh

                                      Anyone know of a site where I might find whitepapers or research text for free? Specifically looking for bioinformatics/computational biology, machine learning and OS security. Subjects are extremely varied I know. This is very firmly in the world of academia. Google Scholar returns a zillion hits, but it almost seems like every single good possible can only be downloaded from acm or ieee for $$$.

                                        Try Google advanced search and search for your specific topics but limit the domains to .edu. I've had a lot of luck finding technical papers posted on professor's and grad student's personal pages on the university sites.

                                        If you don't have the data, you're just another asshole with an opinion.

                                        I really think Chris ought to let us vote twice. I'd like to give you a 5 both for the post and the sig.

                                          No, not even that. Simply antiquated from when the library was opened.
