  2. Section DFree E-journals Access • Directory of Open Access Journals • BioMed Central • PubMed Central • PubMed search options • HighWire Press • Unpaywall

  3. Displayed is the Search page of DOAJ - the gateway to almost 10,000 OA journals and 1.7 million articles. Note the access via Subject, Journal Language and Journal Country plus a keyword search tool.

  4. Displayed is the Journals A-Z listing for BioMed Central. BMC is a STM (Science, Technology and Medicine) publisher with a large portfolio of peer-reviewed open access journals including many in biology, medicine and health subject areas and also contains a keyword search option.

  5. PubMed Central PubMed Central (PMC) is an archive of articles that have been deposited in this free repository. Over 4 million articles are available. Access is via journal A-Z listing and keyword searches for articles are entered into the PMC search box.

  6. Note the access to the Article (HTML) and PDF versions of the article.

  7. The PubMed database is an excellent source of free full text articles. We will complete the HIV AND pregnancy search.

  8. In the initial page of the HIV AND pregnancy search results, there are links to Free Article(s) and Free PMC Article(s). In this example, the Free full text available filterhas 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.

  9. HighWire Press 3 Displayed is the HighWire Pressinitial page. The Free Access to Developing Economies link is located on this 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.

  10. Now displayed is the Free Access to Developing Economies list of HighWire Press – journals that are available for many HINARI eligible countries. For eligibility, see http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups#Low_income The access is based on the computer's IP Address and you can go directly to the site using the url.

  11. Unpaywall is a plug-in (app) for accessing scientific papers for free The content is from numerous open-access repositories including PubMed Central, DOAJ, Crossref licensed information, Google Scholar and BASF. These are PDFs legally loaded by the authors.

  12. ‘Unpaywall was launched in April 2017 by the open source not-for-profit Impactstory – funded by the National Science Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Install the plug-in on your Chrome or Firefox desktop browser. If the plug-in can find a freely accessible full-text copy of the paper you're looking at, the lock symbol turns from grey to green, and you can click on it to get the PDF. If the lock is gold, the article is already freely available via Open Access. The full-text copies are totally legal.  The plug-in works by scouring a database of over 90 million digital object identifiers (DOIs), looking for publicly accessible copies of papers on pre-press servers and university websites.’ Signe Dean, Science Alert, 21 April 2017 http://www.sciencealert.com/ this-new-browser-plugin-lets-you-access-millions-of-scientific-papers-for-free
