Finding Full-Text Articles

Many information providers offer journal and newspaper articles for download in PDF format. However, full-text access generally requires payment. Universities and large companies often pay for access to databases so that you can search and view articles.

Citavi searches the following databases for full-text articles.

 

In addition, Citavi searches the Link resolver that you selected for checking availability and finding full text.
