How Do You Find/Curate Academic Papers?

Question

After discovering Sci-Hub I am excitedly diving back into reading academic papers. Fellow HN denizens, what do you use for finding papers that interest you?I have used sciencedaily.com for general news that sources directly from articles and journals, is there anything similar around for other areas, or niches, maybe something like a website or newsletter with articles of interest? For instance I enjoy reading research papers around political science and international relations, but also would love to explore things around UI/UX.Pray tell, what do you use?

ACM digital library is great to browse (and search) [1], its free at the moment - they have SIGs(Special Interest groups) for currently active research areas - SIGCHI might be the one you're after for UI/UX [2]
In my brief stint in molecular biology I found review articles great for an overview of a topic, though I haven't seen these type of articles as much in CS.

I spent the afternoon working it out myself and cataloging places to find papers, a combination of the following works amazingly well.
This chrome extension: https://github.com/allanino/sci-hub-fy
Track and catalog what I have read (à la GoodReads): https://www.zotero.org/
and Zoteros chrome extension for easy logging (works from within a PDF too): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zotero-connector/e...
which I sync to the web library (must create a free account and login to see) rather than using the desktop client: https://www.zotero.org/user/login/
