AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding alternatives to arXiv.org for accessing free physics articles. Participants express difficulty in locating other free publication sites, with arXiv being the primary resource mentioned. Several websites are suggested, including hep.net, SLAC's SPIRES, and various OSTI links, which offer preprints and eprints in physics. It is noted that all new papers in IoP journals are free for the first 30 days, and the New Journal of Physics is always available at no cost. Additionally, the Physical Review journals have introduced a program allowing authors to pay for unlimited open access, although uptake is still low. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding comprehensive free resources in the physics field.

Hello,

I was curious if there are any other sites similar to arXiv.org that store and allow free access for articles in physics.

Thanks.

Physics news on Phys.org
Even I tried to search for free publications but no luck except for arxiv. I would love to know other free publication websites but I rather doubt there other free publication websites of physics besides arxiv
 
Please note that ALL new papers appearing in ALL IoP journals are available for FREE during the first 30 days that they appear online. Also note that New Journal of Physics, which is one of IoP's publication, is always available for free.

One should also start looking at the Physical Review journals, especially PRL. They have recently started a program in which the authors can pay an extra fee to make their papers have unlimited open access. Not many so far have taken up on it (I certainly didn't with my last paper), but I'm starting to hear that they are becoming more frequent.

Just went and found straight article on subject for which I had to gather info by pieces from wiki and arXiv.org. Whoa.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
