I don’t know much about Japanese-specific research culture, but Google Scholar, arXiv, Sci-Hub, and DOAJ are all popular. Also, for papers behind paywalls, contacting the author and kindly requesting a copy often works much better than people expect. Most scientists want to share their research, but they’re often bound by agreements with publishers who profit from restricting access to institutions.
Discussion
Just resharing this here, since it’s not often that we get to discuss research papers on Nostr. I’m sure others here have great tips on where to search for and read academic work.
Where do you usually search for and download academic papers?

どういう時に論文を検索して読もうと思うの？
Not sure if my translator captured your question correctly, but I basically do this on my own account when I want to understand a topic in more depth. For example: what’s different about LLMs? How do transformers work?
Other than that, I still have some academic connections and try to keep up with research produced around topics and groups closer to me.
That might mean searching for specific terms, authors, keywords, magazines / periodics or even DOIs when I know exactly what I’m looking for.
ありがとう🫂やってみるよ🤙
