Are you looking for a way to have easy and smooth  Access/Download Paid journal Articles from  ACS, ELSEVIER, SCIENCE DIRECT ETC  Without Paying? If yes, please continue reading.

Undoubtedly, Research publication is practically known to all scientist and researchers as an expensive field, both for researcher and readers. Most of the scientific studies are behind the paywall when the researcher refuses to pay the publication fee for open-access publication.

Requesting for payment from publishers does not only frustrate  the early researchers who don’t have Institutional e-library access, it also limits professional researchers their ability to explore in more research areas. There are many unauthorize or  illegal ways to download research papers. 

In this post, I’m going to share the Legal ways to download Research Papers for Free and also the illegal or unauthorize way to download research journal papers. No more guilt of using pirated content in your content.

 

FIRST—> The legal ways

Google Scholar – Biggest Research Paper Search Engine

Download Research Paper Free Using Google Scholar

According to research, about 40% of all the payment inscribed or affiliated research papers  are currently using Google Scholar. When we search for any  research paper or journal article  in Google Scholar, It also searches for its PDFs.  If there is one available, it will show the direct link to the PDF in the front of the title.

A lot of  universities, academic social networks or portfolio website of the researchers hosts these PDFs.  Therefore by clicking on [PDF] you can easily download the research paper legally.

 

ERIC –  Archive of Journal and Non-Journal Academic Content

ERIC - US Department of Education

 

Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) is a part of U.S. Department of education. Notably  ERIC is an archive of Academic publications for various researchers. After Google Scholar, this is undeniably the most favorable way to download research papers without paying any dime, at zero cost.

Education Resources Information Center not only contains the journal publications but gray literature and book sources as well. Both journal and non-journal material indexed by ERIC is peer-reviewed. Twice a year, ERIC adds new research publications sources to their index database system.

SECOND—> The unauthorize way

Do you intend reporting a research work/studies? do you want to download a research journal, and your stuck in the payment junction? here comes the remedy.

Without much debate, science students and researchers all over the world have for so long been faced with the huddles/difficulty of easy access to reputable and standard journal articles because of one singular barrier, which is money.
Some of this journal articles cost as much as $45 or $50. Having to pay such amount for a single article is the reason why I am writing this article today.
I strongly believe Education is the gradual discovery of ignorance. With knowledge and information, every enthusiastic researcher/students will be well informed and connected. After stumbling on this secret site were readers, researchers and fellow scientist can easily access journal articles freely without having to pay, I decided to freely give it out to my readers/audience.
There are several ways to search for articles or journals in which you intend downloading. It can be through Google scholar or directly from Google search Engine.If you are using Google scholar, just visit their homepage directly and type in the desired keywords. e.g ( Application of Density functional theory in coating technology). Several scholarly journals/articles will show up, then you can click on any desired one.
