Linking to articles in Ovid databases

The Ovid platform is currently used to access one full-text database only: Journals@Ovid.

NOTE:  There is a limit to the number of simultaneous users for Journals@Ovid.  This includes users who are linking to article level.  If all accounts are in use the user will encounter a lock-out screen. If this occurs users are advised to wait at least 5 minutes and then try again.

  1. Go to Ovid , select "Journals@Ovid Full Text" and continue to search.
     
  2. Find the article you want to link to.
     
  3. In your search results click on the "Ovid Full Text" link to view your article.
     
  4. Above the article title you will see a link that says "Email Jumpstart" - click on this link.Email Jumpstart
     
  5. Towards the top of the page you will see the words "Your Jumpstart URL is:".  Copy the link that follows, for example:

    http://gateway.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&AN=00129234-200509000-00007&LSLINK=80&D=ovft

  9. Links will go to the HTML version of the article.  If you would like users to access the PDF version (assuming one is available) they can do so once they have accessed the HTML version.  You might like to make a note on your course web page indicating where the link to the full-text is located.
     
  10. To ensure copyright compliance all linked articles must open in a new browser window - instructions.
