Yo does anyone know if there’s a way to access scientific literature without paying for access, my research is being greatly hindered and I graduated so I don’t have access to my schools online library

Google scholar will help you find legit sources, and if the ones you find aren’t free, you should still be able to see the author(s). More often than not, if you shoot them an email, they’re more than happy to send you the paper for free because they’re just glad somebody’s interested

It looks sketchy bc it’s piracy and it is but my profs use it too and it’s not gonna give you a virus or anything

Bet I haven’t tried emailing but most of the papers I find on google scholar are locked behind a paywall

Also on scholar there will sometimes be a PDF link on the search page on the far right that’ll just open up for free
