Scientific Literature
If you visit your local college or university library, you can likely find access to hundreds of scientific research journals that require expensive subscriptions if you were to purchase them on your own. Many universities will allow you to purchase a copy card so you can easily print off any interesting articles that you find. The websites below are free online research journals which are commonly referred to as “open access” publications.
