Primary scientific articles
Where can I find free access to recent, 2009-2011, primary scientific articles that include a breakdown of the hypothesis, variables, constants etc? I am most interested in health science related topics but would be happy to find anything at this point.

Re: Primary scientific articles
Hi there,
The best way to find current scientific articles is to go to a university library, since most universities subscribe to a number of scientific journals.
If going to your local university is not an option, you can try searching for articles on the internet using Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com). You can find the abstract of almost any article online, and can often access the full pdf to certain articles. There are also many "open access" journals, which publish their articles online without any access restrictions.
Good luck!
Heather

There are a tons of sources for scientific articles and journals online, but most of all, you have to be careful in choosing a reliable and a well- substantiated source.
PubMed is a source supported by the government, and is probably the best resource center for scientists. For some journals you can find the whole paper for free access, however, some journals are restricted and require a password. At least, they give you the abstract on the website.
Additionally, you can go on Scopus, Science Direct, or even Science Daily(mostly free).
I hope this helps!
