18. EThOS
Run by the British Library, EThOS allows you to search over 400,000 doctoral theses in a variety of disciplines. Although some full texts are behind paywalls, you can limit your search to items available for immediate download, either directly through EThOS or through an institution’s website.
19. PubMed
PubMed, of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, is a very well-known research platform in the fields of science and medicine. It offers access to “more than 26 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books.” While many resources are behind paywalls, you can filter your search to view free full texts only, making this an even more valuable resource.
20. Semantic Scholar
A unique and easy-to-use resource, Semantic Scholar harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to efficiently sort through millions of science-related papers based on your search terms. According to the site, although some articles are behind paywalls, “the data [they] have for those articles is limited,” so you can expect to receive mostly full-text results. Another feature is the extensive advanced search options, which allow you to search by cell type and brain region, among other things.
21. Zenodo
Taking its name from Zenodotus, the first librarian of the ancient library of Alexandria, Zenodo is a tool that was “built and developed by researchers, to ensure that everyone can join in open science.” You can sort by keyword, title, journal, and more and download open access documents directly from the site.
