How do I purchase a PDF?

DeepDyve's LitStream and Open Access collections comprise over 60 million journal articles available for instant full-text reading. However, sometimes a researcher needs to read an article that isn't part of those collections, or they need to download a copy of an article for regulatory or other purposes. In those cases, articles can be purchased directly through DeepDyve.

Purchasing articles with an individual account

Users of individual accounts can purchase articles from our publisher partners, such as Springer Nature, Wiley, Taylor and Francis, and more. To purchase a PDF, simply click the button on the article page, which will give you the cost. DeepDyve doesn't add any fees to PDF purchases; if the publisher is a part of the Digital Library platform, the cost of the PDF will be the same as what you can get at the publisher's site.

Enter a credit card for the purchase and your card will be charged. You'll receive an email with a copy of the purchased article.

As an individual account holder, you won't be able to purchase articles from publishers we don't partner with. To read those articles, visit the publisher's site and purchase there.

Purchasing articles with an enterprise account

Articles from our LitHub collection can be purchased instantly. DeepDyve does not add any fees to these PDF purchases, i.e. the cost of the PDF will be the same as what you can get at the publisher's site.

For Enterprise users only, if the article is from outside our publisher network, then we fulfill that request through our 1-click integration with CCC RightFind, the leading article reseller, where we seamlessly pass the order to CCC, and they send the PDF directly to the user. CCC will then invoice the Enterprise customer at the end of the month. Please note that CCC applies a service fee to supply the PDF.

For Individual users, articles PDFs are purchased using a credit card, or PayPal.

Enterprise customers can also require a credit card paywall for its users. However, Enterprise customers have the option to remove the credit card paywall and be invoiced monthly. In that instance, the enterprise user will see a popup letting them know that their company is paying for the purchase. The popup will also indicate when a particular article is being fulfilled by CCC RightFind, and the Enterprise customer will receive an. invoice from CCC at the end of the month. CCC RightFind does not support credit card transactions.
