Users of Land Life Leisure – the weekly digest of rural press releases, reports and articles – now have instant access to more full-text.
Summary records have a new field which links to abstracts and full-text. Using the CrossRef service, we have installed links, where they are available, to supplement the existing ones to related websites. Many press releases and other reports are already indexed with direct links to the full-text on publication websites. Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) have now been added to over 10% of peer-reviewed journal records in the database and will continue to be added on a weekly basis for new content.
The additional field appears with an explanatory bracket – "[Link to Abstract – full-text may be restricted]" – with the level of access being dependent on institutional subscriptions to the particular journal. All users will find at least some extra information on the article at the publisher’s website.
We welcome feedback on this and all other features of the database. Free trial access is available to non-subscribers.
