You should e-mail the corresponding author and ask them to send you a .pdf. It helps if you claim to be at a university from a poor, developing country and your library doesn't have any subscriptions. Some authors will also have the .pdf uploaded on their website.

But until we get there, simply look for their website or send them a nice, short email with the publication in the subject line. If there are multiple authors, you could have more success with a middle author than the leading or trailing authors (first and last are often the lab head). An alternative is looking for an administrative contact on their website.
