Free Scientific Research Resources on the Web

Resources that are freely accessible to researchers from anywhere in the world. No library affiliation or subscriptions are required to access the full text.

This subject guide is intended for use by researchers who may not have access to many subscription databases or large research collections. The resources chosen for inclusion are primarily those which contain high-quality, full-text documents.

Some websites are a mixture of free and not-free.  On occasion a resource may require free registration to use. Most of these websites do not require a login to use.
