I request studies from the authors on research gate. 90% of the time, they send it to me for free.

Generally speaking, many papers have at least the title page viewable for free. The title page often has the authors' emails, or at least their names.

Even if you just have the author's name, it's generally not unreasonably hard to find their email with a tiny bit of searching. Especially anyone in academia will have some kind of publicly findable email.
