A wonderful recommendation was made here quite some time ago—by Fuma, I think—for Sci-Hub, which was a spectacular resource providing free access to journal articles. It stopped functioning a while ago, and it would be immensely helpful if someone has another such site to recommend.
Profound thanks in advance!

Yeah, they stopped uploading new papers. Ugh.
Sometimes I can still get by with:
https://sci-hub.st/
Sci-hub.se
I just tried
https://sci-hubtw.hkvisa.net/
And it worked for a 2019 paper.
Also, there’s 12ft.io (not as fond of it, and starting to get blocked)… Also occasionally use #icanhazpdf on Twitter and usually someone emails it to me.
Others to try, though I haven’t used these:
libgen.fun or libgen.rs or libgen.io (seems more for books)
z-lib.org
pdfdrive.com
Found these links too, unsure how many are useful; not to mention malware

Thanks for these suggestions! I’ll try them out and let you know my experiences.
Sci-hub had been a dream for so very long. There were some articles available through ScienceDirect, but Sci-Hub opened the universe!

And I find that Sci-Hub doesn’t work now, period. Not just for new papers, but everything.
