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

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

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.

Academic Social Networks – A Place where Researchers Meet

You can now see clearly that there are tons of excellent academic social networks exclusively for researchers and scientists. They all are primarily equipped with massive scientific features. One of the features is to upload, share and cite the research papers. Following are top social networks,

• ResearchGate

Many researchers upload the copies of their research papers here.  You just need to search the paper you want to download. Not only papers, Complete books, and book chapters can be also found here.

Ecosia – Search PDF of Paper by Special Search Query

Ecosia is a Bing-powered search engine. Ecosa primarily has novel features design to search for PDF file for a specific name. When you visit   any search engine, it will crawl all the internet for the PDF of that name. Most significantly it gives links to academic social networks, university websites and personal websites of researchers.
