19 E-journal resources Free Medical Journals Directory of Open Access Journals BioMed Central PubMed Central HighWire Press PubMed search options

20 FreeMedicalJournals.com lists medical journals sites that make their content free to all users. Journals are organized by speciality, title A-Z, language and other listings.

21 The DOAJ lists all journals sites that make their content available for free. Journals are organized by title A-Z and broad subject listings including Health Sciences and Biology and Life Sciences.

22 BioMed Central is one of the principal open access journal publishers. Access to all articles are free as the authors pay a fee for the publication of their articles (often waived for authors from low-income countries). Journals are listed by subject and article searching by a keyword search engine.

23 PubMed Central PubMed Central is a archive of articles that have been deposited in this free repository. Over 2.3 million articles are available. Access is via journal A-Z listing and keyword searches for articles are entered into the PMC search box.

24 HighWire Press website a portal to over 1,150 journals published predominantly by learned societies Includes health-related journals - American Journal of Public Health, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences and Journal of Bacteriology. via IP address, allows access to participating journals from any computer within the country has a listing of the ‘journals free to developing- economies’ that can be accessed directly from the HighWire Press site: highwire.stanford.edu/lists/devecon.dtl

25 HighWire Press 3 This is the HighWire Press initial page. From this site, we can locate articles or journal titles or subjects and set up an email alert. The Free Access to Developing Economies link is located on the initial page. Also of interest is the Free full-text content link. There is a link to both pages in the Other Free Collections drop down menu on HINARI’s Full-text Journals, databases and other resources page. Note: You can access the HighWire Press full text articles since this publisher identifies computer (IP) addresses from eligible countries. This is the ONLY exception to not needing to use your institution’s User Name and Password.

26 You now have entered the Free Access to Developing Economies list of HighWire Press. As noted, the access is based on the computer's IP Address and you can go directly to the site using the url.

27 HighWire Press 4 Within HighWire Press, we have entered the Free Online Full-Text Articles page. Note that some journals are a free site and others have free articles after a set period of time. The HINARI eligible country access is a different mix of titles. M

28 The PubMed database is an excellent source of Free full text articles. We will complete the HIV AND pregnancy search and then will apply the Free full text available filter. Note: If you are in HINARI/PubMed, do not apply this filter because it will eliminate all HINARI full-text articles.

29 In this example, the Free full text available filter has been activated. The search results are 2714 citations. If you keep this filter on, it will limit all future searches to Free full text articles.

30 Another option to is to use the Free full text[sb] filter in the PubMed search box. We will add this filter to the malaria AND pregnancy search.

31 The Summary search results have been displayed. We have opened the Display Setting drop down menu, checked the Abstract option and clicked on Apply.

32 The search results are 2733 citations. In the abstract format, you can access the full-text articles by clicking on the icons. This is the end of Module 5 Part A There is a Work Book to accompany this part of the module. The workbook will take you through a live session covering the topics included in this demonstration with working examples. Updated 2013 04
