I am not able to retrieve any full articles
In
general, you need to have subscriptions to the journals you want to
retrieve from (either personal or institutional subscriptions). If you
do not, and if the full articles are not available for free, QUOSA will
retrieve only the abstract, but not the full article (even if a journal
is linked via PubMed).
There
may be other reasons as well for not being able to retrieve full
articles: for example, a particular PDF may cause a problem (try to
open it as an html version first). Also, an anti-virus program,
firewall, or pop-up blocker can cause problems in retrieving PDF
articles as well.
Finally,
articles that go back more than 10 years may not be available
electronically or may only have abstracts. This varies with publishers.
Additionally, some journals change publishers over time and the
mechanics for full-article retrieval may change as a result (when we
discover this, we modify our retrieval mechanism to work with the new
publisher). Similarly, some publishers change the format of their links
or their intermediate pages, which prevents QUOSA from retrieving the
full article (once again, in these situations we attempt to 'fix' our
retrieval mechanism).
If you continue to have problems retrieving full articles, please contact support@quosa.com .
