If I cancel my subscriptions to the aforementioned journals where else can I find new primary research on a weekly basis? Links to sources would be really appreciated.

All manuscripts with NIH funding must be open access within a period, which I think is 6 months. For example, you'll see a link in the top right that says Free in PMC, where you can get a free copy.

You can create an account, and get alerts of new articles based on keywords, etc.

PLOSOne is a free multidisciplinary journal that is Open Access. A lot of very good research appears in this journal. PLOS has several journals, all of which are open access (free online).

Thanks! I check pubmed quite often but I didn't know that PLOSOne also had open access journals.

The PLoS model is the future. Open access will be the only thing we do soon enough, I hope. I look forward to the day we can laugh at the backward time when journals ruled science.
