Accessing Pre-Paid Pay-Per-View Articles on Science Direct and Nature

The AIMS library has purchased pre-paid pay-per-view tokens with a couple of major publishers in order to increase the coverage of non-subscribed journals.

Science Direct:

AIMS staff can access any journal article or book chapter on ScienceDirect, even if we do not have a subscription to that particular journal or book.

To access full-text, you will need to login with your personal ScienceDirect account before attempting to download PDF files (if you do not have one, you can create one for free).

To create a new ScienceDirect account, click 'Sign In' on the top right of the screen and then click 'Not Registered?'.

You will be taken to the registration page shown below - fill in your details and click 'Register'.

Once you are signed into your personal ScienceDirect account, you will be able to use the AIMS Library's pre-paid pay-per-view tokens to access articles that AIMS is not subscribed to. In order to use these tokens, find an article as normal and then click 'Download PDF'.

You will be taken to the page below and asked to click 'Continue' to access the article under AIMS's agreement with Elsevier. 

After selecting continue you will be returned to the article page and you will be able to download the article by selecting 'Download PDF'. Each download deducts $12 USD from the AIMS Library pay-per-view account. 

Nature:

AIMS staff can access any journal article on nature.com, except for articles from Scientific American. Access is completely seamless and should work as though we have a full subscription to the title. Please note that each download deducts €10 EURO from the AIMS Library pay-per-view account.

If you are having any issues with the above, please Contact the Library.

Please Note: The full content of AIMS online subscriptions are not available to the general public. Use of electronic journals is subject to copyright laws. Use and copy for individual and collaborative research is expected; however, systematic downloading and/or redistribution to non-subscribers is prohibited. Users must read and observe the terms and conditions of use as published on the websites of the publications concerned.
