Research Bounties On Fulltexts

, ,

A list of papers/books/materials I have failed to obtain, and financial bounties for anyone who can provide copies to me or the Internet.

2018-12-31–5y2024-01-13 in progress certainty: log importance: 1 bibliography

Sometimes in research, despite my best search techniques, I am unable to get a digital copy of a paper or book to upload to Libgen. This page lists my failures to date, and offers bounties for anyone who can get me a digital copy of them (often possible via a university ILL department, which are no longer accessible to me). Internet Archive scans are not accepted due to low quality, unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Unless otherwise specified, the current bounty is $10 for papers/theses/chapters & $20 for books/videos/miscellaneous; I can do PayPal or Amazon gift cards most easily, other payment methods will be more work. (I may pay bounty+costs if not unreasonable or you contact me in advance with the total.)

To claim a bounty, contact me with the copy. (Payments are first-come-first served unless you contact me in advance so I can remove it from the list & avoid unnecessary duplication.)

Current count of filled bounties: 44.

AI

  • Unknown title, survey article cited on “Integrated Cognitive Systems”, pg92 of On Machine Intelligence, Donald Michie: [paper]

    How long is it likely to be before a machine can be developed approximating to adult human standards of intellectual performance? In a recent poll [8], thirty-five out of forty-two people engaged in this sort of research gave estimates between ten and one hundred years. There is also fair agreement that the chief obstacles are not hardware limitations. [8]
