Overview of Electronic Access to Journal Papers

   
  What is Electronic Access?  
   
   
 

From this web site, you have the ability to access electronic copies of the individual journal papers in our archives. These archives contain every paper that has appeared in all journal issues for all three journals.

There are two possible methods for obtaining these electronic papers.

  • Pay Per Download
  • Subscription Based Access

Both of these methods require you to have an online account.

 
   
   
  Pay Per Download Access  
   
   
 

Pay Per Download is a basic access method whereby the user of the web site is required to register for a FREE online account with the WIT Journals web site.

You can register for an online account here.

Once you have registered your account and verified your email address, you will be able to log into your account by visiting the login page.

Once you have logged in, you can visit the Download Papers section of the web site to view a list of journals. Your access status for each journal is listed next to each journal. If you are subscribed to a particular journal, then that journal will have a clipboard icon next to it to indicate that you are free to download whatever papers you required for FREE. More Information on Subscription Based Access appears below this section.

For any journals that you are not subscribed to, you will see a yellow dollar symbol indicating that you can BUY individual papers from any of that journals archives using a shopping cart system.

To buy papers, select the journal you wish to buy papers from to view a list of volumes for that journal. Then choose an issue to list that issues papers.

To add a paper to your shopping cart, click on the appropriate add to cart button. You can also search for papers using the Search for Papers feature from the main menu.

Some papers will be flagged as OpenView instead of having a shopping cart Icon. For more information about OpenView Papers, see the section later in this document by clicking here.

 
   
   
  Subscription Based Access  
   
   
 

If you have subscribed to one or more of the WIT Journals and opted for the additional feature of free online access to your subscribed journal(s), you have the ability to download any papers from those Journal, FREE of CHARGE.

When you took out your subscription, if you opted for the online access feature you will have been issued a username and password for your account. You can use these details to login using the login page.

If you have a subscription but did not opt for the online access feature, please contact us to have your account setup. You will need to complete an electronic access license form before we can create your account.

After you have logged into your account, you can then use the Download Papers and Search For Papers features of the web site to download copies of papers from your subscribed journals.

When starting at the Download Papers page of the web site, you will see a list of WIT journals and a status indicator for each. For any journal you are subscribed to, you will see a clipboard icon that indicates you are a subscriber and have free access to papers for that journal.

For Journals you are not subscribed to you will see a Yellow Dollar icon that indicates you can only access papers from that journal by purchasing them individually, and you should review the Pay Per Download Access section above.

 

Institutional Subscriber Access Features

For subscribers who are part of an institution, you have other options available to you for your subscription. Again, these are provided as part of your subscription fee.

IP Authentication: If your institution has a network and a static IP address range, we can configure your online account to automatically log ANY number of computers on your network into your subscription account in order to access the papers of your subscribed journal free of charge, whenever they visit the web site.

When using this feature, the Pay Per Download feature is not available for any unsubscribed journals. In order for a user on your network to purchase individual papers from an unsubscribed journal, they must use the 'Switch Account' link at the top of the page to log into their own personal Pay Per Download Account.

Off Site Remote Account Access: With an IP Authenticated Account, you also have the option to setup and configure individual 'Remote Access' accounts for members of your institution so that they can access papers under your subscription from home.

This involves setting up user accounts in your administration panel and specifying login names and id's. People can then use these details to login and access papers from your subscribed journal, free of charge from home.

Using this feature, as with any machines logged in via IP Authentication, Pay Per Download is Disabled for any non-subscribed journals. The user must login to their own personal account in order to purchase papers from the unsubscribed journals.

  Openview Papers  
   
   
 

OpenView is an option Authors of the Journal papers have when submitting their papers to be published in the WIT Journals. The authors pay a set fee in order to have their papers available free of charge to any registered members of the web site, whether they are Pay Per Download users or Subscription based users.

OpenView papers are indicated by the presence of the following Icon:

If you see this icon listed next to a paper, you can click on it download the full paper, FREE of charge.

Please note that you must be logged in before you can access Openview papers.
