since it is supposed to start a postgraduate, you are moving into the world of research (especially a PhD). For this you must read what others have done and this is where you meet the first anger. To read what others have done, must be paid. And that would be good if you only had to read 4 or 5, but if you want to do something serious must read as much as you can ... good.
From the other side, when someone publishes the results of an investigation. You have to pay a wool to a journal (journal) and this magazine brings you a wool readers. Lease:''having a journal is a negociazo.'' (Do you think the authors of the papers, get money? ... Ja ja ... deluded.) Out there in 2000 a group of researchers, and 35000, decided to boycott against it, demanding that their results could be consulted openly. Knowing that these costs prevent many other researchers access the results (especially in countries like Mexico''fucking'', whose politicians and businessmen do not plan to stop being a fucking country (because they live to every mother) but I think I got sidetracked ...)
Even then spent a lot of things ... but the important thing is that there are already many journals you can access without paying ...
Here is the Directory of Open Access Journals:
