Researcher (medical) here. Sorry for clickbait, but here’s the deal.

Let’s say, I want to study something, like pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, mechanisms of hypertension or interplay between different biomarkers. The first step typically is to type in something like “atherosclerosis ncbi” in google, the ncbi word cuts off the bullshit and only scientific publications will appear. Mostly are pubmed, but some of them are to journals.

Here is the deal: if you open any of these, 85% it will be under paywall. It’s pretty much expensive to buy everyone an article, the authors get zero money from purchasing (it sucks), and maybe you just won’t like the article.

So you copy the DOI, go to sci-hub, paste the DOi, and voila- the whole article is there. Now read it, study the field, enrich your understanding, and so on.

Deep research will never do that. The guardrails will go crazy and you will just waste a prompt. Yes, you can get some preliminary data, but after you still have to go to sci-hub, and download the paper. So we need an agent who will do that job

Ps. I you know someone please forward this to an OpenAI engineer, because this limitation needs to be addressed ASAP
