Some of the articles are open access. Authors have to pay $3200 (a
typical fee) to not have their papers behind a paywall. If you don't
pay the open access charges then typically you have to give the
journal the copyright as a condition of publication and you are not
allowed to post your own paper on the internet.

Of course you can always publish on arXiv or your own website for free
without peer review, but it won't count much for academic advancement.

I guess that if you find a paper behind a paywall that you can email
the authors and they will send you a free copy. Journals typically
allow this, and I think the authors will be eager to have their paper
cited.
