At some point a few years back I received an email asking, "Are you the Ed Newman who authored this paper on Thus-and-So." I replied that I was not, but decided to look into it further and was amazed at how comprehensive this website (Academia.edu) was.
As it turns out, Academia.edu is a popular online platform primarily focused on the academic and research community. It serves as a centralized hub for sharing, discovering, and accessing scholarly content, often described as a "social network for researchers." Launched in 2008, it has grown into one of the largest repositories of user-uploaded academic papers, with over 296 million registered users and more than 55 million PDFs available for free download.
After researching the site, I downloaded a couple academic papers about Bob Dylan. Since that time I have regularly received emails asking I were the Ed Newman who wrote this or that or some other document. More often I receive emails telling me about a Bob Dylan related paper that has been uploaded.
Here is one of these emails, with links to ten academic papers about various aspects of Bob Dylan. Have fun.
