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.) -Joan "moar social science papers!"
