Word request for an academic paper/article that is 'hidden', 'difficult to find'
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have come across an article that seems to have been published in a book that is only available online with restricted access, and the paper is not reproduced e.g. on the arXiv. I am writing on a related topic, and wanted to refer to this paper in a sentence: "the [hidden/elusive/difficult to find/ etc] paper ... by ...". Clearly though, those words aren't really applicable here.

obscure might work; it combines feelings of "concealment", "hard to get to" and "relatively unknown".
Here is an example of its use on one of our sister sites, MathOverflow:
How to locate an obscure paper?
A colleague asked me to locate the following paper on the web:
Kovalenko, I.N.: On the reconstruction of an additive type of distribution based upon a sequence of independent trials.
Memoirs of the All-Union Conference on Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics, Erevan 1958.
After a few failed attempts, I asked myself, how would I go about locating this paper in the REAL (not virual) world? What library stocks proceedings of the All-Union Conference... in Erevan, from 1958?

Except that "obscure" would most commonly be taken to mean "To abstruse to read."

I agree with the commentor above, but I think if I use 'obscure' in the right context I can avoid that implication. It seems like the best word choice here.
