Google Scholar searches specifically for scholarly materials such as journal articles, research reports, dissertations and theses, preprints, technical reports, patents, manuscripts in preparation, working papers and many other document types. When you do a search in Google Scholar, you get a list of citations. You'll only get links to the full text if it's from an open access journal, or if the researcher posted the article on her/his website.

If you encounter a prompt to pay or login, you may still be able to access the resource. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Try searching for the title or authors in JCTC's Library Search.

2. Reach out through Ask a Librarian for assistance. 

3. Request the article through interlibrary loan.
