Ovid Full Text Links

You may also purchase access to Ovid Full Text through OvidSP's PayPerView. When these three types of Ovid Full Text access exist in the same session, the order of priority is applied as follows:

ACCESS TYPE	LINK TYPE	MORE INFORMATION
Journals@Ovid		See OvidSP Full Text.
Deposit Account		See Deposit Account Access to OvidSP Full Text. Ovid Full Text is the default link name of OvidSP Full Text access through a Deposit Account. Depending upon link configuration at your site, this link might be named differently. For clarity about link names, contact your site administrator.
