GoScience is proxy server written in Go for downloading academic papers from Scihub, particulary useful in case your institution/workplace blocked the access to Scihub, but you still need the access to scientific articles.
GoScience is very easy to use. All you need is password, and doi link. See screenshot of application below:
Doi could be provided via url:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2854146
or just the number
10.1145/2854146
git clone https://github.com/GreatDanton/GoScience.git
cd GoScience
# compile /public/main.scss into /public/main_min.css
# A fast and easy way to do that is to use `prepros` tool
go build main.go
GoScience server port and password used for downloading articles are set via conf.json file
located in the GoScience root directory. Password is used to keep the bots and undesirable
people away from spending our precious bandwidth.
Configuration example:
{
"PORT": "8080",
"PASSWORD": "super_secret_password",
"ScihubURL": "https://latestScihubURL"
}Server is started via executing main binary file:
./main
