ResearchGate – You’ll need to sign up for a free account. Some articles on ResearchGate are free to download; others you must request access from the author. If you request access, make sure you personalize the standardized message they give you. Requesting access does NOT guarantee they will send it to you, but some will respond quickly in a day or two.
These sites have a variety of scholarly journals and all are open access, meaning you can get them for free.
