List of alternative article downloader repositories?

[sgbaird]

Curious if you are aware of or could include other article downloader codebases or packages. Would you recommend article-downloader or another one, or does it depend on user-needs?

I'm not aware of any other packages that allow for large-scale downloads. If your institute doesn't have text and data mining agreements with the various publishing organizations (Elsevier, Wiley, RSC, etc), then you probably won't get much use from this package. This code is fairly old and not currently updated, but our group still uses very similar code to do the extraction. Hope that helps. Feel free to follow up if you have more questions.

Our group used to use this package for some research, but it seems not available now. We think that publisher website may have been upgraded, Wiley and ACS is not available now, while Springer can still work.Do your group still using the same code?
