Websites to Pull Full-Text Articles for Free (Psychology, Drug Addiction)?
Question by blackcheri32: Websites to pull full-text articles for free (psychology, drug addiction)?
I need to do some research on the outcome of children of drug addicted parents. The resulting report will not be long or involved, and I only need 2 or 3 references. I am out of the habit of doing research right now and am just trying to gather some info for a friend.
Can anyone tell me of any websites where I might have access to full-text articles for free?
I am checking the APA (American Psychological Assoc.) website in a minute, but much of their work requires a fee. I MIGHT be able to find what I need there without charge, but Im not sure.
In the meantime, If anyone point me to any (other) hopefull free sources I would appreciate it.

Hey girl. Research sucks. Let me help you. The BEST site is ebsco host…go to http://search.ebscohost.com. Then…you’ll have to have a password and such, use mine, user id: s8407648, password: password. I am in grad school, and get access included in my tuition. Good luck, let me know if I can be of any help!
EDIT– Oh yeah, if you live next to a major university, go to campus, log onto their network (most of them have vistor log on pages) and you can use their research sites. This was very helpful to me once, because their network was so much bigger than the one I gave you access too (I go to a small private college).

Drug is thought to originate from Old French “drogue”, possibly …
