finding free medical journal articles

To those of you who are directly posting or writing about recent medical journal articles, what sources are using to find said articles and most importantly are they free?

Seems google scholar has a lot of free, full articles, and not just the abstracts.

I was able to filter pubmed searches to only the free full-text ones.

Any other sources I should be aware of? I'm likely too lazy to go to the nearest university library in-person. Just thinking of searching/researching recent uc stuff. Thanks,

Well medline/pubmed does not have everything,and if you filter medline to only include free full articles
you might miss good info that just has an abstract.
I also use google and google scholar.
If the article is not free,many times you can dig up the corresponding author email them and
ask for a copy,they are usually happy to send you one.
Of course not a good idea to post that article anywhere.

Can't really add much to what's been already said. I just plug my searches into google and see what comes out: I find that google tends to give far more relevant results than pubmed, oddly enough. It even sometimes comes up with a list of scholarly articles at the top of the research results.

But unfortunately, recent publications tend not to be free to view, no matter which search engine you go through. I just tend to rely on the abstracts in that case, and read older studies in full. It's not ideal, but a well-written abstract should give you the gist of the entire article.

Also, medical news sites will also report the latest research. Yes, you're getting the info second-hand, but it's better than nothing.

Speaking of which, this was literally published in 2014: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/codi.12558/abstract

Would very much like to read that one in full, as it's entirely relevant to my interests.
