The main page, shown below, consists of hypertext links to the table of contents listing of the journals available through your institution. This main page is called the Journal Index page. You can access the journals in one of two ways.

1. Use the alphabetical listing of journals by clicking on the first letter of the journal name.
2. Use the Category List of Journals to choose a category of interest. This category listing is optional and configurable by site, and may not be included in all installations.

Use these links to browse through the journal collection using the directions below. If you want to search the collection, use the search box located at the top of the page or click on Search in the navigation bar to go to a search form. Go to the Search section for more information on searching.

Click on a letter (only those that have journals associated with them display as links) for a list of available Journal Titles that start with that letter. Choose a journal by selecting the name. You can easily browse the collection of journals, issues, volumes, and articles by selecting the links. The table of contents contains links from journals to issues, and then to the articles. By following these links, you can easily navigate to articles of interest. 

Your institution may use icons to indicate the subscription status of a journal title.  When icons are displayed at your site:

         Indicates that your institution subscribes to this journal
         Indicates that your institution does not subscribe to this journal

For unsubscribed titles, sites typically disable only the full text for those articles, meaning that you are able to browse and abstracts for all titles.  Search results are based on subscribed titles only.

If you want to search an individual title or all of the electronic journals, use the search box located at the top of the page or click on the Search Button located in the navigation bars at the top and bottom of each page.

Select a journal title to show a page that lists the volumes and issues for that title. The number of issues available depends upon the age and status of your organization's electronic subscription.

Cover images for journals may be displayed on the Volume/Issue pages and/or on the articles listing for issues.  Both the image itself and the link under the image serve as a path to the journal publisher's page for the journal.  If you want more information about the title, use the link to the Publisher's home page. 

If your organization has an OpenURL implementation, a link defined by your institution displays directly under the link to the publisher's home page. This link displays as text (defaults to OpenURL) or as a gif image selected by your organization.  Click on this link to go to a page that is configured by your institution to provide full text and/or other services for the item.

If a journal title has been changed, merged with another title, or discontinued, you'll see the information displayed under the title on this issues page.  If the titles referenced are available on your site, the references are constructed as links so that you can browse directly to the other titles.

If you login to this system using a unique user name, you can also request an email alert when new issues of a title are delivered.  Click on the link, New Issue Alerts:  Add this Journal, located directly under the navigation bar to include the journal with your alerts.

Select any issue to display the titles for the articles, the authors' names, and the page numbers on which the article appears in the printed journal. Each article displays hypertext links that lead to the article Bibliographic Page, the Full Text HTML (when available), and to the article Full Text PDF for the titles to which your institution subscribes. 

Depending upon your institution's configuration, you may also see an OpenURL link for any of the articles listed. 

Click on this OpenURL link to go to a page that is configured by your institution to provide full text and/or other services for the item.

The Bibliographic Page
The Bibliographic Page lists relevant information about the article including the title, author
names, and the article abstract. This page also lists references and 'cited by' references where available.  Use the hypertext links at the top and bottom of each page to read the Full Text of the article and to get the article citation for use in bibliographic software. 

At both the top and bottom of each bibliographic page, the standard hypertext links are available to read the full text of the article (where available) and to get the citation export for use in bibliographic software.

If your organization has an OpenURL implementation, you may also see a link directing you to a page configured by your institution to provide full text and/or other services for the item.

Select the format you want by clicking on the link. 

You may also see links to External Full Text.  Please note that you may need a separate subscription to retrieve the full text of a document from external web sites.

References
Both the Bibliographic pages and the Article Full Text HTML pages display references for articles where the publisher distributes the data.  Typically, you can expect to see citation data for articles published from late 1998 onward, depending on the publisher. Links are created in the Citations section in several ways:

1)  Full text for a reference is located on the local server.  These links connect directly to the bibliographic page and/or the full text on the local site.   Local links are indicated by direct links to the bibliographic page and the full text, Bibliographic Page  Full Text.

2)   Full text for a reference is located via CrossRef (through the Elsevier Science Outward Linking Hub).  These links are identified as CrossRef, and link directly to the publisher site.

3)  You may also see links to Preprint articles. These links indicate articles that are available from preprint servers. It is possible that articles referenced may be available on both a preprint server (format prior to print) and through CrossRef (in published format) at a publisher site.

4)  If your organization has an OpenURL implementation, a link defined by your institution may display with all or specified citations.  This link displays as text (defaults to OpenURL) or as a gif image selected by your organization.  Click on this link to go to a page that is configured by your institution to provide full text and/or other services for the item.

Cited by
After an article is published, later publications may refer back to the original article.  ScienceServer dynamically lists these with the article referenced when the data gets loaded and indexed.  These are known as Cited by: references, and the software links the later references back to the original article. Cited by references (when available) are located only on the Bibliographic Page.    

Article Full Text HTML
(If you want to print an article or if you want to view it exactly as it appears in the print version of the journal, select the Full Text PDF link.  For best results, use Acrobat 4.0 or later to display and print articles.)
Full text HTML display, when available, is the most effective means for online navigation of articles.  Use standard browser techniques to navigate within the article.  

Images next to author names provide links to correspondence or email.

  
Indicates than an author is designated as the correspondence author. This can consist of address, fax, and/or email address. Click to link directly to the information provided for the correspondence author.

Indicates that an email address was provided for an author. Click to send email (email must be enabled on your system to use this feature).

Go directly to different sections of an article by using the links provided in the article's outline. 

Click on any of the thumbnail images for figures or tables to view the full sized images.  

Use your browser's Back button to return to the article from an image, a table, or a reference link.

Full Text HTML pages also display references, linked to local or external full text where available.

Please note that full text HTML is available only when the publisher delivers the data in the required format.  This format is not typically available for electronic data distributed prior to September, 2001 and for selected titles after that date. 

Article Full-text PDF
Click on this link to read the full text of the article with the Adobe Acrobat Reader or to print the article in its original format.   After opening an article in Adobe Acrobat (PDF), use the toolbar to navigate through the article. Your view may differ slightly according to whether the Adobe Acrobat reader is installed on your system as a plug-in or as a helper application. Each button has a tool tip associated with it, so that if you place the mouse cursor over any button, a description of the action appears.  

To get more details on viewing options in the Reader, click on Help from the Acrobat menu bar.

Get citation export (Reference format)
ScienceServer provides the article bibliography in refer format to make it easy to use your electronic journal articles in bibliographic programs like Procite and Endnote.  Click on this link, then copy and paste the data into your software's database.

OpenURL
The OpenURL is a protocol that allows for interoperability between resources and services in an open linking environment.  The purpose is to lead users to appropriate resources for an item.  If your organization has an OpenURL implementation, a link defined by your institution displays on various pages when browsing and searching electronic journals.  Links display as text (defaults to OpenURL) or as a gif image selected by your organization.  Click on this link to go to a page that is configured by your institution to provide full text and/or other services for the item.

Remove articles from your selected list by clicking in the box next to the title and clicking on the Remove Selected link above the list of titles.  You can remove all of the titles from this list by clicking on the link to Remove All.  If you log into this system with a user name and password, My Articles saves your selections permanently so that you can use the list from session to session.

If you do not log into this system with a user name and password, all of the features of My Articles are available for your use, but the list is not permanently saved.   You should consider that all articles that remain on the list when you finish your session are viewable to the next person to use the system.  For this reason, you should always clear your list when finished.  Clear the list by selecting the Remove All link while in My Articles.
