In my student days I had easy access to journals because our college had a good library. But access was limited to those to which the library subscribed. To day the problem is worse, I have no access to journals because the hospital library has limited …rather no journals at all, and I cannot afford a subscription. If I look into the web I end up no better. Nice fancy sites proclaiming the superiority or authenticity of their articles but with access only upon paying a fee. So I did what I should have done a long time ago. I combed down the net for open-access journals and came up with a few sites. Here is my list. I am going to keep updating the list as time goes by!
