Unfortunately, not every journal publisher supports the ability to link directly to the full-text page for an article. Occasionally this is for licensing reasons (e.g. Harvard Business Review), but usually it’s for technical reasons (e.g. the journal web site doesn’t have stable URLs for articles).

For those journals, you’ll normally need to click on the “Journal” link (shown in the image below) to get to the journal page on the publisher’s site and then browse to the relevant volume/issue to find the article.

To try and make it easier for you to get to the article, we’re currently experimenting with a “Search for the full-text” link for some journals…

…clicking on the link will initiate a search for the article on the publisher site…

At present, the “Search for the full-text” links should appear for LexisNexis journals and for some EBSCOhost journals, and, from the testing we’ve done, the links seem to work most of the time.

As always, if you’ve got any comments or suggestions, please let us know!
