    are the papers from annas archive redundant with scihub, or are they from a different source?

      Papers in Anna’s archive are mostly from sci-hub. There’s something not available on sci-hub, but not much.

      Real problem is that sci-hub was the organization doing the archival on large scale and it is now dead.

        Not exactly dead, but on a stale due to a legal dispute. However, they have started a new project that fits a legal grey-area called sci-net where people can ask for or help others get access to papers by getting them from their institutional login and sharing on the platform. Not as practical as sci-hub, but better than nothing and less prone to be taken down
