Accessing journals by title 1 Journals can be accessed by title from an alphabetical list. To find The Lancet, click on L. Note there also is a View complete list of journals option.

Accessing journals by title 2 A page appears containing all the journals beginning with L.

Accessing journals by title 3 Click on a title in the list to select a journal. We have selected The Lancet.

Accessing journals by title 4 Another window will open at the journal publishers’ website.

Full-text Article Access Problems Using the‘Journals by title A-Z’ list, we are attempting to access a full-text article from the Blood. Although HINARI users should have access to this journal, we will use this as an example of ‘what could go wrong.’

Access problems can be caused by: • failure to properly LOGIN with the institution's User Name/Password • technical problems at the Publisher's website • 3) or problems with local systems (configuration of user institution’s • firewall, configuration of browser) Consequently, you may see a message on the Publisher‘ denying access and requesting LOGIN or payment for the specific article. Note: Your HINARI institutional ‘User Name/Password’ will NOT work.

To confirm that you have used the institutional User Name and Password correctly, check in the address or URL box of the web browser. If properly ‘authenticated’, you will see a URL that begins with: http://hinari-gw.who.int/whalecom...

Double check that you have completed the HINARI LOGIN. If this is not the problem, notify HINARI staff (hinari@who.int) so that they can communicate with the Publisher and resolve the problem. Note:make sure you include your institutional User Name, the name of the journal(s) and other details.
