Alexandra Asanovna Elbakyan is a Kazakh programmer and researcher best known for creating Sci‑Hub, a platform that provides free access to millions of paywalled scientific articles. Trained in computer science, she began working in information security and developed interests in brain–computer interfaces and neuroscience; she turned her technical expertise into a tool for researchers who lacked access to the subscription databases of major publishers. Launched in 2011, Sci‑Hub sparked wide debate: many viewed it as a socially significant act in favor of access to knowledge, while publishers and copyright advocates characterized it as large‑scale legal infringement. Lawsuits in several countries led to damages awards against the site and pushed Elbakyan out of the public spotlight, even as she became a central figure in discussions about open access and ethics in scientific communication. Elbakyan publicly defends the principle that scientific knowledge should be common, a stance that combines arguments for open access, critiques of publishers’ commercial practices, and references to collectivist ideals. Her legacy is controversial: she helped reshape the debate over who should control and distribute academic literature, influencing movements and policies around access to research.
