And the authors also have to pay the journal in order to be published. It's not cheap. Fortunately more and more papers are also pushed on arXiv. The problem with arXiv is that it's not a peer review journal, it's just a database, but hey, it's free. Also, use "scholar dot google dot com" to search for papers, it's pretty good.

Look out for predatory journals though. They ask you to pay to publish and they don't peer review and aren't credible.

True. Those exists. Rule of thumb: the longer the name, the shittier the journal. "Nature", "Astronomy and Astrophysics", good; "Academic Organization for Advancement of Strategic and International Studies", bad.
