What’s the consensus of sharing published papers here? As a university student I do have access to pay walled and typically inaccessible papers which means I can distribute them here. Though I’m wondering if posting these papers, which are usually incredibly long, is even needed. Would it be unwise to share?

I’ve found some papers my professor published but I’m hesitant to post them as I can risk doxxing myself. I’m not really worried about anyone on here knowing my location/school but I’ve seen some warranted paranoia from comrades and it’s making me pause.

Just wanted to know any opinions on this.

    There are platforms out there for sharing research articles already, so if it’s nee content, I’d put it up there, but be careful, use a proxy/vpn and wipe pdf metadata. If you have cool articles that you know of share links to other sources, keep yourself out of the sights as much as possible.
