Full text research articles.

I'm writing a research paper for Biology class and I need access to full text research articles. Does anyone have a site/sites where I can find complete research articles? I'm not talking about sites where you have to pay for access or sites like Pubmed who have nothing but abstracts and incomplete articles (unless I'm missing something). Thanks.
 
Nate tell me what you are looking for and I will see if I can pull them for you.. I have access to our virtual library at U of A.. did you check to see if your university has virtual access?
 
Also if you find in google scholar, and its only an abstract, you can let me or matt-d know the article name... and one of is bound to have the full article in ONE of our virtual libraries... and if not.. I can have my virtual library find it, and send it to me (Take a couple days for that one)

I was looking into doing a paper on cancer, but that is such a broad topic and I'm not really sure what to narrow it down to.
 
Okay.. what you could do is narrow it to one of the different systems that are affected by cancer or you could take a specific cancer and research that. What is it that you really want to know.. btw, this is like doing the literature review for your doc degree.
 
One possibility is Highwire at Invalid Link Removed

Another is finding abstracts at Pubmed or Scirus Invalid Link Removed
and going to the websites of the cited journal, sometimes they have full free text avaliability.

The US patent Office, at Invalid Link Removed has citing and summations from applicants.

The FDA and HHS, many subsites, have drug and clinical trial data, some full text access.

A metasearch engine, I like Ixquick, has links to web sites that provide full texts, generally to suport commercial selling.

In depth research will probably require $ for online access and/or a local sci/med library, one can only get a limited amount for free online, it's relatively easy to go broad , but not deep.
 
Go to your university library. The library should have the published and/or completed research bound that was completed by professors and/or doctorate students.
 
Size most of the libraries on major campuses allow you to access tons of journals and research articles on line now.. I never really have to head for the campus unless I am looking for something that is 15 or 20 years old..
 
How about something like chemo therapy or radiation therapy and its effect on testicular cancer or is that still too broad? Any ideas?

Nate,

I recently had a friend who had seminoma, and I grabbed a bunch of papers (only a few in their entirety) on common treatment.

Radiation isn't used unless there are quite a few positive nodes post op.

I also happen to work in the radiation field so if you need some specific info, let me know. Like Matt, I have access to some online databases through a hospital.

Regards,
R
