Links@Ovid

Links@Ovid provides access to external (non-OvidSP) resources as part of your session. OvidSP identifies these resources with Full Text links that display throughout your session, including within the Full Text display.

Click a Full Text link, and OvidSP provides access to where the Full Text resides. The display you see depends on the number of sources available in your site for that Full Text article.

In cases where there is only a single instance of external Full Text, the article will pop up once you click the Full Text link, without any additional prompting by the user.

If there is more than one link available (as shown below), you will be prompted by an additional pop-up window which will ask you which article you want to see. Upon selection, the appropriate article is displayed in a new window.

External Full Text links open in a separate window when the Full Text is available as a free internet resource or through a login or IP validated account. To ensure uninterrupted access, disable your web browser's pop-up blockers.

Hold down the ALT key and click the TAB to toggle between your OvidSP session and the external resource.

Site administrators and external publishing providers control the availability of content from non-OvidSP sites. If an external site is consistently unavailable, contact your site administrator.
