What types of articles are available on DeepDyve?

DeepDyve LitHub includes three levels of access to content:

1. The LitStream collection
2. The Open Access collection
3. The Download Only collection

The LitStream Collection

The LitStream collection is DeepDyve's proprietary collection of copyright-compliant, full-text papers that can be streamed and read online (think Spotify for papers) for a fraction of the cost of purchasing and downloading papers under traditional methods. Our LitStream collection is the only streaming service for scientific papers with over 35 million paywalled papers from over 20,000 peer-reviewed journals from Springer Nature, Wiley, SAGE, JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine and more.

In addition to streaming, subscribers can also print up to 40 pages per month from this collection to save a copy of a key page(s) or paper. With LitHub, you can also annotate the articles, tag them, organize them in folders, 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

The Open Access Collection includes over 20M free papers that are available under an Open Access (OA) copyright license. Most OA articles can be read, printed, downloaded, stored in folders, annotated, and printed, all through the DeepDyve platform.  However, some of the OA articles have a more limited copyright license where they are only available for free 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

The Download Collection includes purchase/download capability for over 150M papers, i.e. any paper from any journal from any publisher. Papers that are included in our LitStream collection can be purchased and fulfilled directly by DeepDyve at the same price as on the publisher site, with no service or transaction fees.

Papers that are from publishers outside our network are automatically fulfilled through our partnership and integration with CCC RightFind, the leading article reseller. This feature is only available to Enterprise customers where CCC will seamlessly send the PDF and invoice the Enterprise customer monthly as needed.
