In preparation for a workshop that I am presenting at the Indian Cancer Congress 2013, I have been populating the MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resources for Learning and Online Teaching) with open-journal articles. One of the primary databases I am using is PubMed. PubMed has a growing number of open journal articles available at PubMed Central (PMC). PubMed now includes a reader, PubReader, to read articles. The reader works with all popular web browsers. It is very easy to navigate and allows a zoom type feature to figures. To learn more about the PubReader, go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/pubreader/
You can search PMC to find those open-journal articles at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ I prefer the advanced search feature. For example, I did a search for India and Cancer with publication dates between 2010 and 2013 and found 649 pertinent open-journal articles.
PubMed also has a mobile app for searches called PubMed on Tap. The Lite version is free. It limits the returned searches to 20 and allows for the storage of 50 references. The full version is only $2.99. Both the Lite and full versions allow you to search PMC for those open-journal articles.
