Science: Created in 2011 by Alexandra Elbakyan, at the time a graduate student in Kazakhstan, Sci-Hub is a database of more than 50 million scientific papers and articles, many of which are otherwise only accessible with subscriptions to journals. Science's John Bohannon obtained six months' worth of data and analytics from Elbakyan to determine who is using Sci-Hub—and discovered it's basically everyone. In the six-month period, the site delivered some 28 million documents. About 4.4 million requests came from users in China, 3.4 million from India, and 2.6 million from Iran. Russia came in fourth, and the US fifth. The requests reveal that it's not only countries that are under international sanctions or experiencing economic difficulties that drive Sci-Hub's traffic. The 34 members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, some of the wealthiest nations in the world, account for a quarter of the site's traffic.

Ilianzishwa mnamo 2011 na Alexandra Elbakyan, wakati huo mwanafunzi wa kuhitimu huko Kazakhstan, SciHub ni hifadhidata ya karatasi na makala zaidi ya milioni 50, ambazo nyingi zinaweza kupatikana tu kwa usajili wa majarida. Sayansi ya John Bohannon alipata miezi sita ya thamani ya data na uchambuzi kutoka Elbakyan kuamua nani anatumia Sci-Hub <unk> na aligundua ni kimsingi kila mtu. Katika kipindi cha miezi sita, tovuti hiyo ilitoa hati milioni 28. Maombi ya watumiaji kutoka China ni milioni 4.4, India ni milioni 3.4 na Iran ni milioni 2.6. Urusi ilichukua nafasi ya nne na Marekani ya tano. Maombi yanafunua kwamba si nchi tu ambazo ziko chini ya vikwazo vya kimataifa au zinakabiliwa na shida za kiuchumi ambazo zinaendesha trafiki ya Sci-Hub. Nchi 34 za Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ni nchi tajiri zaidi duniani na zina asilimia moja ya trafiki ya tovuti hiyo.
