How do I Purchase Papers?  
   
     
 

There a number of ways to obtain papers from the eJournals, depending on your subscription type.

Pay Per Download (PPD)
Pay Per Download is the default, non-subscription account type when you register. It is the standard account type that you will use to access papers from all journals unless you have subscribed to a particular journal.

With a Pay Per Download account, as the name suggests, requires you to pay for every paper you wish to download.

The site provides a typical style shopping cart facility that will allow you to add papers to a cart, and then proceed to a secure server checkout where you can pay for your papers via credit or debit card. Once your payment has been authorised, you will be granted access to the selected papers for a period of 24 hours.

Follow these instructions to purchase a paper using a Pay Per Download Account:

  • Browse through our eJournals and find a paper you would like to purchase.
  • The next step is to add the paper to your shopping cart by clicking on the corresponding icon. You will be then redirected to your shopping cart where you can make changes before progressing to the checkout.
  • Repeat these steps until you have added all papers you wish to purchase.
  • Click the Buy now button to be redirected to the secure payment server. Follow onscreen instructions to complete your purchase.
  • Once your payment has been verified, you can download your papers from the 'My Account'

Personal Subscription Based Access
If you have a valid subscription for aparticular journal, then you will be able to download any of its papers on request by clicking on the required papers correseponding icon. The paper will automatically be downloaded.

When you have a subscription to one journal, but not to any of the others, your account for the other journals will function in the same way as if you were accessing them from a Pay Per Download Account (See Above).

Institutional Subscription Access (Online Only)
If you are part of an institution, such as a college or a university, you can setup an Institutional Subscription which works exactly the same as a personal subscription, but it allows you to use IP Authentication so that every computer in your institutions network can automatically be given access to the subscription without the need for login.

If you are logged into a subscription account via IP Authentication, or a Remote Account of that supscription account, all Pay Per Download abilities are disabled and you will be required to 'switch accounts' before you can purchase individual papers.
