I’m looking for recently published research papers. I’m wondering what are the methods of obtaining recently published research papers apart from methods described in the megathread ?

Shouldn’t research stand on its own? Like, if you have something that is legitimately worth looking at, wouldn’t people be interested in it regardless of where its ‘published’?
The issue is visibility. Just like self-publishing a book, you’re in an uphill battle to even get your work seen. If you ever want to be cited by future publications, your research needs to be easy for future researchers to find and access. And traditionally, that has been done by consolidating studies via scientific journals.
Sure, you could try to start your own FOSS version of a journal. But that will require web developers, hosting costs, and the enthusiastic support from (and adoption by) other researchers. Because if nobody uses your system, it’s worthless for it’s intended purpose.
Google docs, or any of its many alternatives.
That system is called the Internet, good sir. If people want to see the results of a study, locking it behind paywalls isn’t going to make it easier. Lol.
