How I read Mathematics. First try to find the paper. First use http://front.math.ucdavis.edu . If you can't find it then use google scholar. If that fails then go on the authors academic website. If that fails then see if the author is live and try to contact them. Then repeat for their grad students. If all else fails post it to r/math or HN and ask for the pdf.

Short of bugging the author, you can also go to Wikipedia's entry for SciHub and see what their latest known domain suffix and/or IP address is.

If you don't want to bug the author for their paper then it presupposes that you wouldn't even ask the author a question. It doesn't hurt to send an email that they delete but most likely the author never gets questions and you boost their ego.
