How to download and save academic articles on the platform?
Users can download and save academic articles directly from this platform for offline access and reference, assuming their institutional or personal subscription grants access to the specific content. Downloading requires authenticated access to the full-text article page. Locate the dedicated download button (often labeled "PDF" or "Download") prominently displayed near the article title or abstract, then click it to prompt the file saving process. Ensure your institutional subscription covers the journal or database, and be mindful of copyright restrictions limiting commercial redistribution. Saved articles are typically in PDF format for ease of reading and sharing.
To download an article, first navigate to its detailed record page after authenticating your access via the platform. Next, identify and select the "PDF" or "Download Full Text" option, usually presented above or beside the article abstract. The browser will prompt you to choose between opening the file immediately or saving it to your preferred device location, such as downloads folder or cloud storage. Verify the saved file successfully opens to confirm completion. This functionality is essential for researchers conducting offline analysis, building personal libraries, or ensuring access regardless of internet connectivity, enhancing research continuity and citation accuracy.
