You'll find a lot of papers want you to have an institutional login to get them or pay often ridiculous sums of money.
You can ge t"most" scientific papers for free here :

Yeah this whole pay wall thing is not good for society. Thank you for the link. It requires downloading something. I am not sure if I want to do that or trust it especially with language on the landing page in another language and if I don't many others won't either. Can you speak to the validity of this link or is there a way to verify the safety of a download?

I've been using sci hub without having to download anything but PDFs.

What is it asking you to download?

Sci-Hub is awesome. Free knowledge!

If you have issues with the link/ it asks you to download something etc, better start here: https://sci-hub.now.sh

It lists you the current online servers of sci hub ( as they have to change the servers due to ip lock downs once in a while)

Hope that helps, bye for now!

The Google Scholar search engine may also be useful. Certainly not all but many of the resources you will find there have free access.
