My professors never taught be the basics of writing for academic journals. What book should I read in order to teach myself how to write articles for journals?

I did a BS in Economics and an MBA from Bangladesh. I was extremely interested in research and I still am. But my supervisor and professors were dismissive of my interests considering me overconfident and "someone who thinks they are great researchers or can be" (someone too full of themselves). In any case, they were interested in test scores and rote learning and never on research. I did one semester of course in research in my undergrad and the supervisor only brushed through the basics. 

I am thinking of starting my own research and writing my own articles and maybe try for PhD. I know it might not be possible with such scarce hands on training but I really want to give research article writing for journal articles a shot. 
I know longer have access to the library at my university so I cannot get books on loan. Also, academic books are prohitively expensive given the exchange rate, import duties and the insane amount of red tape surrounding the outflow of foreign currency from the country. So, I am preferrably looking for a free book(s) on how to write research articles and to know the intellectual property rights regarding my work. 

I want to learn how to write articles for journals and I am looking for books that will teach me how. Can someone suggest some brief yet comprehensive books that I should read to teach myself how to write research articles?

You seem to come from a very 'taught' background rather than a research one. Did you have research oriented dissertations or thesis? If so, publishing that could be your first target.

I would suggest start by reading the articles in your field and target journals. It is English and you can learn a lot from just reading and noticing how they are structured and what information they cover.

I am not aware of any Academic Publishing for Dummies kind of books, but to be honest, you don't need them.
