Alexandra Asanovna Elbakyan (Russian: Алекса́ндра Аса́новна Элбакя́н; Armenian: Ալեքսանդրա Ասանովնա Էլբակյան; born 6 November 1988) is a Kazakhstani computer programmer, multidisciplinary academic, and the creator of the website Sci-Hub, which provides free access to research papers . Sci-Hub provides access to nearly all scholarly literature published before 2020, but a much lower proportion of those published since then.
Elbakyan has been described as "Science's Pirate Queen". In 2016, Nature included her in their list of the top ten "people who mattered" in science. Since 2011, she has been living in Russia.
