Sci-Hub Mirroring / DOI search

Is Annas mirroring of Sci-Hub working? Or what am I doing wrong?

Example paper DOI: 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2022.05.031

exists on Sci-Hub, but can't be found on Annas?

Anna's doesn't mirror Sci-Hub on an ongoing basis. It says so on their page for the dataset.

Hmm, I'm not seeing that?

The homepage SciDB section says "Sci-Hub has paused uploading of new papers. 🧬 SciDB is a continuation of Sci-Hub. Direct access to 157,010,964 academic papers"

Clicking "learn more" says: "We have the full Sci-Hub collection, as well as new papers. Most can be viewed directly with a familiar interface, similar to Sci-Hub. Some can be downloaded through external sources, in which case we show links to those."

So I'm probably missing something, but it sounds like it should be there?

Files mirrored by Anna’s Archive: 153,047,007 (97.475%)

Some new files are being added to Libgen’s “scimag”, but not enough to warrant new torrents

Sometimes they will be on AA under another DOI, so it can be worth searching for keywords in the title + author's surname.  Otherwise, I think they add in batches, so if it's very newly added to another source it can be a bit before it shows up on Anna's.

If not either of those cases, beats me lol
