Dunno what Sci-Hub is, but most researchers are happy to send you a copy of their paper on request - and this is completely legal. Their email address is usually on the abstract.

I have never ever gotten a response from a researcher :(

That's too bad - I've seen posts from scientists, or people who claim to be, saying what I said.

Probably depends on if theyre still at the institution the research was done.

As the first author of a fair few papers during grad school, I don't have that email address anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also not in academia.

I was trying to get more info on a paper I read for a final project in my senior year. Couldn't get anything back. Their PhD thesis was on spotted lanternflies and how temps impact them
