If you go to the
NCBI site that Crash directed you to earlier you will find a section called 'Pubmed central' this is a database of journal papers all of which are freely available online.
You shouldn't need any sort of access to search the pubmed database, which is also available on the NCBI site. You may not be able to access the full-text of some of the journal papers that you will find but you should certainly be able to search the database and look at the abstracts.
Many journals release their publications for free access after a waiting period, such as Development and PNAS. Other journals are starting up on an open-access basis, where the papers are published online for free access right from the start. A number of such journals are represented on the
biomedcentral website and the
Public library of Science publishes PLOS Biology and PLOS Medicine on a similar model.
