when I click on a journal title it just takes me to: subscribe or a link to that journals website, so they are not really free are they ?

or when I search for a subject, I get results from journals, but are these just recent relevant articles, and are they selected ?

so is this really a full replacement for the entire journals

thanks

Quick look:

Limited search capabilities. No way seen to access tables of contents in such a way as to access full text.

In searching for “sickle cell anemia”
I’ve already hit article returns in OncologySTAT Journal Search Results that does not contain a link to full text.
Maybe they’re working out the bugs.

Yep. I signed up this morning, but haven’t had time today to explore it.

It looks like librarians can sign up as well as physicians.

Interesting… seems they’ve collected EPO-money (which has its own tab). No direct ads on the pages so far.
