Guest joshier Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Does anyone know about how to access scientific journals? I tried to sign up to one of them but couldn't actually download any of the papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Franklin Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 journals are hella expensive dude. most are a couple hundred dollars a year. best bet is through a university library. Also, Rambo seems to be on to something... perhaps you could google maps a university library and zoom in on other people reading them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rambo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 it's totally efficient if you get to know the prog imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I know that you can get an account through your local library and then access them over the internet for free. We had to do this at a community college I used to go to. IDK about the UK though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 without an institution pass its basically much too expensive for anyone to do privately, I think public libraries may allow access though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest joshier Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Why are journals so expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 because they contain decades of research in each volume. anyway they are not meant to be bought by individuals but by libraries and research institutes. go to one and you'll have acces for free.

goDel Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 depending on the field those expensive scientific journals aren't as important as they used to. many researchers just put their papers online (or drafts, if the article happens to be in one of those expensive journals). but again, this greatly depends on the field.
