One option can be to look for conference talks given by the authors of
those papers. You can do the APA reference to the paper itself, then
maybe link to a video of the author speaking about it.

In general you already know all of the other tricks I tend to use: fair
use excerpts such as abstracts, looking at the author's website to see
if they have a pre-print or similar version available, hitting the
journal's website for the abstract/conclusion, Google Scholar, etc.

Sometimes emailing the author and asking for a copy works, which you can
also include as an mention in the FAQ if it worked for a particular
paper/topic. They may also be able to grant permission for a section to
be excerpted for our specific needs. (I've gotten this in the past for
chapters from a book, for instance.)

I've got a trove of articles I'll try and dig through soon, maybe on my
next flight, that could be useful - most of them focused on distributed
cognition, communities of practice, and distance-working, all of which I
think are relevant to running a sustainable community (even if not
specific to D&I topics.)
