In addition to those already mentioned, sometimes scientific journals can be found on a professor's personal homepage. If you enjoy surfing the websites of world-class universities, you will find the personal websites of each professor and not a few professors who are kind enough to share their work in the form of journals and articles that are no less cool than paid journals. The point is, don't run out of ideas to hunt for scientific journals. If your campus is kind enough, you can also borrow journals accessed by the campus, usually in hardcopy form that is sent once a month.
