Over the last year, VincentYu, gwern and others have provided many papers for the LessWrong community (87% success rate in 2012) through previous help desk threads. We originally intended to provide editing, research and general troubleshooting help, but article downloads are by far the most requested service.

If you're doing a LessWrong relevant project we want to help you. If you need help accessing a journal article or academic book chapter, we can get it for you. If you need some research or writing help, we can help there too.

Turnaround times for articles published in the last 20 years or so is usually less than a day. Older articles often take a couple days.

Please make new article requests in the comment section of this thread.

If you would like to help out with finding papers, please monitor this thread for requests. If you want to monitor via RSS like I do, many RSS readers will give you the comment feed if you give it the URL for this thread (or use this link directly). 

If you have some special skills you want to volunteer, mention them in the comment section.

Bjelakovic G, Gluud LL, Nikolova D, Whitfield K, Wetterslev J, Simonetti RG, Bjelakovic M, Gluud C. Vitamin D supplementation for prevention of mortality in adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2014, Issue 1. Art. No.: CD007470. DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD007470.pub3.

Does anyone know if Cochrane publishes the data they use in their meta analysis? I have a suspicion that meta analysis generally does not make good use of the available data. In their vitamin D analysis, they have shockingly large confidence intervals compared to the amount of data they have. I'd like to check that theory.

Here.

Does anyone know if Cochrane publishes the data they use in their meta analysis?

I had a look. It turns out Cochrane does publish all their usable data, and they seem to be ungated! Here's a link to the data for this meta-analysis. (The link to this data is provided in the gated HTML article, but there doesn't seem to be a link from an ungated page, so I wonder if these data are supposed to be freely accessible... In any case, all their data are currently ungated and accessible by appending '/downloadstats' to the appropriate URL.)

Here are some details about the file formats: http://tech.cochrane.org/revman/documentation/file-formats I find myself irritated that they only include effect sizes and sample sizes rather than the actual observed counts for each group, as that would make a Bayesian analysis much easier.
5gwern
I haven't looked in detail at it, but is that because their formats or approaches do not support raw data or because they do support raw counts but simply did not supply them? ie they had the data & discarded it, or they may never have had the observed counts & were going off effect sizes reported in papers; the latter is plausible as I've found authors very unwilling to share detailed information beyond what is reported in papers.
7jsalvatier
Turns out they actually, do report it! It was just under an unexpected label "EVENTS_1". I'm going to do a meta analysis of my own.

Hm. I wonder how I would get a full list of URLs. It'd be nice to feed it into my archiver bot.
3Douglas_Knight
It would be easy to extract a partial list of URLs from this. Google probably has better coverage with its in url search, but I don't know how to get lots of data out of it.
5gwern
Looks like one would be better off using the site: parameter than inurl:, since it's a prefix; so site:onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858
3Douglas_Knight
huh. I didn't try that because I knew that site: doesn't work for all prefixes (eg, it fails if you chop off the last digit). I thought it required termination with a slash, but maybe any punctuation works? I do recommend inurl:abstract.

Awesome! Thank you!

It turns out Cochrane does provide their data. Very nice of them. Also, at least in this case my own metanalysis based on their data perfectly replicated their results. The inefficiency I thought was there was not there.

Thanks. That's sufficient for my curiosity: Good lays out the argument for lots of aliens (which is cogent enough and time has vindicated various beliefs such as planets being common), notes that galactic colonization is easy and highly certain on astronomical timescales, that there must be a stable governing structure (the Chief Entities, who may or may not be FAIs), and argues that the reason for the Great Silence is the 'zoo hypothesis' (just with FAIs). Not too unreasonable for the time period - as he notes, the first SETI searches had just been done and parapsychology still seemed fairly credible then - but I'd say by this point it's pretty clear that there are no intelligent aliens whatsoever and the zoo hypothesis is untenable, and parapsychology likewise. So a historical piece of minimal general interest.

First of all thanks for the service. I'll launch the first request and see how it goes :)

When did you search? If you search "vs" rather than "versus," it fails. A general suggestion is to search authors if titles fail.

I'll be making a visit to the Library of Congress sometime in the next month. I visit the Library of Congress a few times each year to scan things which basically can't be found elsewhere. If there's anything in particular you want from the Library of Congress next time I go, let me know here. I'd strongly prefer that you've tried other resources first, and checked that what you want is in the Library of Congress catalog (or likely so; sometimes you can't tell).

I might also visit the NIST library and National Agricultural Library.

I went to the Library of Congress today. It's highly likely I'll go again next summer, so you can still let me know if there's anything you want scanned.
0polymathwannabe
Does your offer include entire books?
4btrettel
Yes, with some caveats: 1. you agree to only use the copy for non-commercial purposes; 2. you will not distribute the copy; 3. if there's no other good way to obtain the book (e.g., if you can buy the book or get it via interlibrary loan, go do that), or the book is in the public domain; 4. there's not a particular section you are interested in (if there is, let me know); 5. the book is not too long. With the above caveats, this should be at worst fair use, but I am an engineer, not a lawyer. (I am, however, finishing up a class on US intellectual property law, which clarified much of my understanding of the law in this regard.) I'll limit myself to 2 requests for entire books (first come, first served), as the scanner they have is not ideal for scanning entire books. They have a good overhead scanner, but it's somewhat slow.

It's a Mexican book that used to be available in libraries here in Colombia around 6 years ago. Today it's nowhere to be found, and all my known pirated sources for books in Spanish lack it. It's not available for Kindle, and the LoC happens to have it. However, I just checked in Amazon that the printed version has 401 pages, which makes me feel embarrassed to ask for such a cumbersome favor. Upon further search, I discovered one public library in my city that has it available for loan. I'll do that.
2[anonymous]
To be honest, I'd be okay with scanning 401 pages if I could get something out of it. I mentioned here that I wish there was a website where you could get credits for the number of pages you scan and then use these credits to pay others (perhaps with a rating system for getting the correct item, speed, quality of scan, etc.). Might not be that hard to set up, actually, but I don't have the time to do it. You're probably aware, but for those who aren't, WorldCat is a good way to see which libraries near you have which books. Unfortunately, participation of libraries outside of the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia seems to be incomplete, but at least some Colombian libraries participate. Another problem is that not all of the holdings of some particular libraries seem to be in WorldCat. The Library of Congress in particular seems to have problems with this for some more obscure items. I've gotten into the habit of checking the Library of Congress' catalog separately.

The object streams for indirect objects have been unpacked and stripped away, leaving their contents uncompressed. Use qpdf to regenerate compressed object streams: qpdf --object-streams=generate in.pdf out.pdf (The --stream-data=compress option is already set by default.) While you are at it, might as well re-linearize the PDF for online readers with low bandwidth: qpdf --object-streams=generate --linearize in.pdf out.pdf

That seems to work. I tried gs, Gscan2pdf, and pdf2djvu but they all either didn't reduce size or segfaulted.

I took a look. That domain is acting as a 2-hop open web proxy. The first hop routes through a VPS in New York. The second hop routes through a (dedicated?) server in Montreal. The New York VPS is running nginx as a reverse proxy with no caching. The Montreal server is running Mr9.SM, which looks like an online fraud toolkit built on top of a web proxy back end. On the same server, there is an exposed MongoDB interface that is leaking data that should not be leaked.

There are other domains that are also using these two servers as a 2-hop open web proxy (the domains and two servers are most likely managed by the same entity, since the setup requires coordination). A small sample (rot13ed to stop bots from picking them up):

As a cyclist, I'd be interested in seeing these articles as well. Unfortunately my university doesn't have any of these. I could request them by interlibrary loan, but I suspect I'd be on break by the time they come in. I usually visit the Library of Congress when visiting my parents on breaks, and I'll check their catalog to see if they have these proceedings later. Their online catalog is not working at the moment. I'll make a new reply to your comment when I do.

Sure, I would have tried interlibrary loan myself back in December, but I was too busy. I requested the 1982, 1984, and 1987 proceedings. I'm not going to request the 1992 (published in 1994) proceedings because I have no success getting anything from CISTI, and getting things from Europe would either take too long or not happen at all.

The relevant paragraph is in Section 2.2.5: Following the Bobes et al. citation yields: Reference 22 is to "WHO Fact Sheet no. 217", which no longer exists. Luckily, the Wayback Machine has a copy. The relevant point: Unfortunately, there is no citation and it does not precisely match Bobes et al's claims. Neither Bobes et al. nor the WHO fact sheet refers to lost income, so the reference to that in the original claim is wholly unsubstantiated by these citations.

(Meehl in his 1990 "Why summaries of research on psychological theories are often uninterpretable" claims Hays agrees with him about the null hypothesis always being false, but I'm interested in exactly what Hays said and how he said it - albeit not enough to buy the book just to look at one page, and Google Books won't show me the relevant part regardless of how I try to chain my search queries.)

It's on the first page of results for the serial number (the patent does not mention the author's name).

Have you seen a citation of the first paper from a reputable source? Are you sure that it is cited correctly or even exists? Your link appears to claim that it was cited by Victor Herbert in his article on B12 in the 1996 17th edition of "Present Knowledge in Nutrition. Have you tried looking in various editions of that book to see if he does cite it? (Obviously, the 1996 edition does not cites a 2004 paper, but I trust the 1996 more than the 2004. 1996 is the 7th edition, not the 17th.) Added: this seems like a reputable source, as it is a patent by same the company.

I can provide feedback for writings in philosophy of mind, evolution, evolutionary psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and popular science. (to make this easy, please use google docs)

It wouldn't be bad to know what lesswrongers are reading (and having trouble finding) maybe publishing all the previously searched books every now and then would be nice.

I'd like to ask for writing help every now and then, I'll keep that in mind.

This is a nice service you're offering, but aren't there platforms to do this that would be more effective, more useful to a wider audience and for a longer time than a LW thread?

If you're doing a LessWrong relevant project we want to help you.

What constitutes relevant? I'm always looking to work smarter, not harder.

3jsalvatier
I've considered other places, but haven't seen anything. Also, I specifically wanted to help people working on lesswrong type topics. Relevant means working on some lesswrong type topic that you might share with the broader community.
1Douglas_Knight
If you want to donate work to the LW community, go for it. I'm not going to send you anywhere else. But I think some kinds of requests should be sent elsewhere. Why should you put effort into supplying journal articles when people could go to r/scholar? (though trivial inconvenience - I don't have a reddit account) Also, it is more likely that libgen is harvesting r/scholar than this thread, increasing the value of contributions there. Moreover, I suspect that a high volume of such requests will discourage other kinds of requests; I'm glad that so far this year does not look like last year.
2ChristianKl
I guess "relevant" depends on what kind of help you want. If you just want a journal article that someone can download in under a minute "relevant" is going to be fairly broad. If you want someone's help proofreading a paper you wrote, the definition is going to me more narrow as that requires more work. Just model the people on Lesswrong in your mind and ask: "Do I think they would want to help here?" If the issue is relevant in a way that would embarrass you, you are probably good enough at modelling this community to avoid asking. As asking is generally quite low cost, it's not the end of the world if you do write a request that on the edge of being relevant and nobody wants to help.
0Vulture
Surely you mean "irrelevant in a way that would embarrass you"? If it's embarrassing but relevant wouldn't it be advisable to a) suck it up or b) PM someone or post under a sockpuppet or whatever, if it's really that bad?

You might want to check the SSC comments first as people have already been requesting, scanning, and translating.

I'll be visiting the Library of Congress next week for one day. Let me know here if there's anything in particular you might want me to look at or scan there.

To keep this manageable, I'll only accept requests that appear difficult to obtain elsewhere. If it looks like you can get what you want via interlibrary loan, try that rather than asking me. If you are not affiliated with a university then I'd recommend talking to a librarian at a public library about this. Seems many public libraries will do interlibrary loan for free or a fee.

Likely I'll make a second trip to the Library of Congress in August, too.

Visited the Library of Congress this past Wednesday. I'll be going to the Library of Congress several times this summer, so reply to one of my comments here if you want anything in particular at the Library of Congress. It was a fairly productive day, as I think I've found a good strategy for avoiding the phone book people at the scanner. For some reason, there's often a ton of people who do nothing other than look at old phone books. I assume this is for some sort of private investigator business or something along those lines. I never asked. Anyway, they tend to procrastinate and use the one overhead scanner starting around 2 to 3 pm, so it's best to do as much book scanning before them. My current strategy is to do my book scanning before 2 and then switch to microfilm, as I rarely ever see anyone using the microfilm viewers or scanners.

In Feymann's Cargo Cult Speech he writes:

All experiments in psychology are not of this type, however. For example, there have been many experiments running rats through all kinds of mazes, and so on--with little clear result. But in 1937 a man named Young did a very interesting one. He had a long corridor with doors all along one side where the rats came in, and doors along the other side where the food was.

Awesome, thanks! (ETA) I have the figures already from a secondary source, so that's OK.

Probability and Statistics for Business Decisions, Robert Schlaifer 1959. Surprisingly expensive used, and unfortunately for such a foundational text in Bayesian decision theory, doesn't seem to be available online. If you can't get a digital copy, does anyone know of a good service or group which would produce a high-quality digital copy given a print edition?

Page-by-page .djvu scans are available here (found via this search; edit: it seems to appear sporadically in the search results). Full sequence of download links is http://202.116.13.3/ebook%5C24/24000522/ptiff/00000{001..744}.djvu ---------------------------------------- I wrote the following just before finding the scan of the book. I'll post it anyway. I've used 1DollarScan for about 50 books, including math/stat textbooks, and the quality is consistently good (unless you need accurate color reproduction) even with the cheapest option (i.e., $1 per 100 pages), but you'll need to do your own post-processing to: * Lossily compress further and binarize B/W text; expect about 400 KB/page from 1DollarScan. * Perform OCR; 1DollarScan's OCR option is expensive and performs okay at best. * Straighten pages; pages are often offset slightly from the vertical. * Add metadata (e.g., page numbering, section bookmarks). I use Adobe Acrobat with ABBYY FineReader for these. FineReader's OCR is more accurate than Acrobat's, but Acrobat performs okay by itself. Acrobat's trial can be indefinitely reactivated every month in a Windows VM by reverting to a pre-activation snapshot, whereas FineReader has to be bought or torrented, as its trial is overly restrictive. I don't know of any good options on Linux. BTW, there's a used copy on Half.com for $39. Not sure if you saw that.

Huh. Weird. I did not see that IP-server, I don't think, and I'm surprised that such a thing exists. I also don't see it in your linked search! Seems to be... maybe some sort of scan prepared by a Chinese university library, going by http://202.116.13.3/detail.asp?id=120 ("Library of JI'NAN University") ? Easy enough to get, combine, and add the metadata: $ for i in {001..744}; do wget "http://202.116.13.3/ebook%5C24/24000522/ptiff/00000"$i".djvu"; done $ djvm -c 1959-schlaifer-probabilitystatisticsbusinessdecisions.djvu 000*.djvu $ djvused 1959-schlaifer-probabilitystatisticsbusinessdecisions.djvu set-meta Title Probability and Statistics for Business Decisions: An Introduction to Managerial Economics Under Uncertainty Author Robert Schlaifer Publisher McGraw-Hill Book Company Subject statistics Keywords decision theory, subjective Bayesianism, value of information URL http://202.116.13.3/fulltext.asp?id=120 Creator Library of JI'NAN University CreationDate 1959 . save ^Z Browsing, it looks nice.

They have a copy at our university library. I would need to investigate how to scan it efficiently, but I'm up for it if there isn't an easier way and noone else finds a digital copy.
0btrettel
Document delivery services can provide scans. However, there probably aren't any legal services which'll scan entire books for you due to copyright law. I have a hard time getting different interlibrary loan departments to get me scans of some smaller documents as well, even if you can verify the documents are in the public domain. The easiest thing in this case would be to use a good scanner in a library. I'm fond of the overhead ones. I keep a list of certain rare books and articles that can be found in particular libraries, and go scan a bunch of them in batches when I have the opportunity. Yesterday I visited the Library of Congress and scanned a fair number of things which could not be found elsewhere. Edit: I assumed above that gwern does not have a copy. Vaniver in reply to me gives a good option if gwern does have a copy.
1Vaniver
Huh; my friend converted his physical collection to a digital one years ago, and I thought he said the price was dollars per book. (Googling "physical book to ebook" gives a lot of options.) The thing I would be more concerned about is it being an image file or terrible OCR.
0btrettel
This is good to know. I was not aware of services which will scan books you own. I think this is the route gwern should go. My own experience with OCR is that it's generally pretty bad unless it's done by Google and/or you put a lot of effort into cleaning the images. Though, I have only used free services, so perhaps my experience is limited.
0gwern
I was thinking that if there were no digital editions yet, I could perhaps buy a used copy and either debind (for flat pages) & scan it myself or use one of the services like 1DollarScan. The problem with the latter is that I don't know how well it would work with a math book, and some of them won't return the debound pages to you...

If anyone could find the following, I'd appreciate it.

2gwern
FWIW, I don't find their treatment of reverse causality convincing. Adoption of Confucianism as a predictor of peasant revolts is as plausible as their preferred causal arrow, and in some cases makes better sense (eg they seem to think of temples as brainwashing nearby subjects, but AFAIK most temples were not 100% state-funded and rely on contributions... so temples are more plausibly a measure of Confucianism, than a cause of Confucianism; and given how explicit Confucianism is about being a tool of central state propaganda & control, would it be at all surprising if more independent places aren't too keen on it?). They try to use a measure of 'Confucian sages' a millennium before to deal with this a bit, except that measure is from the same data source as everything else, which was compiled in the 1890s.

You could try contacting the people in here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/framebuilders/Z5Zn0eQyC54 since their OP says he has "all volumes published, and they will be scanned in due time". I don't see any signs of digitizing or online editions anywhere via Google Scholar, Libgen, or my university proxy; university ILLs don't really like requests such as 'scan an entire issue for me please', and asking someone to go to the library to scan an entire issue rather than a specific article is a bit of an ask. It's probably not going to happen, so you might want to look into how to buy back issues and setting up alerts.
