One of metajournal's very special features is providing direct links to full text articles via your institutional subscriptions.
Many metajournal people already have full text access to their specialty journals provided by their hospital, university, college or professional organization.
Metajournal can provide direct links to your institution's library servers to, in most cases, take you straight to the full text article if your organization has a subscription to the journal.
After you have told metajournal your affiliated institutions, you will notice new links beneath each article taking you straight to a search for the full text at your institution.
If you access these links while on your hospital or university network, then you will likely be taken straight to the full text. If you access from outside you will be taken first to a login screen for your institutional library system before being directed to the article (this should only need to be done infrequently).
Telling metajournal which institutions you are a member of is easy – simply click on the 'Add institutional full text...' link when you see it below an article, or visit your metajournal settings page.
You can add or remove any number of affiliations at any time through the settings page.
So far metajournal can add access to more than 250 institutions across more than a dozen countries. Unfortunately some institutions use better, more reliable full text systems than others so the experience can vary.
Please contact me if you run in to any problems, and especially if your institution is not listed – and I will work very hard to get it added to metajournal.
I hope you enjoy easier access to all the relevant evidence that metajournal finds for you!
