What types of articles are available on DeepDyve?
The DeepDyve digital library has three levels of access to content:
- The LitStream collection
- The Open Access collection
- The Download Only collection
The LitStream Collection
On a publisher's site these articles are behind a paywall. However, with a Pro or Enterprise subscription to DeepDyve (or with an individual token purchased along the basic plan) you may read the full text of these articles on our platform. You can annotate the articles, store them in folders, print them (with some limits), and use them in DeepDyve's Reference Manager. Downloading or purchasing a copy of the article requires an additional copyright fee paid to the publisher.
The Open Access Collection
Open Access refers to journals and articles that are available under an Open Access (OA) copyright license. Most OA articles can be read and downloaded, stored in folders, annotated, and printed, all through the DeepDyve platform. Some OA articles that have a more limited copyright license do not have the full text available for reading in DeepDyve but are freely available on the publisher website. In those instances, DeepDyve provides an external link to the journal to access the free article there.
The Download Only Collection
If we don't have a deal with a publisher to supply their paywalled content, you can still read the text by downloading and purchasing the article through our platform. The article citation information and abstract (where available) will be displayed alongside a link for purchasing. You will receive an email from a third party we partner with to supply these articles, and can access the article through a link. This option is available only with Enterprise subscriptions.
