The answer

The questioner should inquire about the university's rules and regulations concerning the utilization of scientific journals, and whether it is permissible for students to publish and send them to others, or if access is restricted to university students only. He should cease sending them until he confirms, because the default rule regarding people's money and possessions is prohibition. It appears that the university prevents non-students from benefiting from these researches.
