Google Scholar

NHS OpenAthens (UHSussex, SPFT and SCFT) for full text

The Sussex Health Knowledge and Libraries Service has enabled links from Google Scholar to the full text of papers in a huge range of health and medical journals.

If you have a Google account, and an OpenAthens account with any of the following trusts, just follow the simple instructions below to set up library links:

• University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust
• Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
• Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust

How to set it up:

Go to scholar.google.com and sign in with your Google account

Open menu in the top left corner

Open settings (if it isn’t listed, look for the settings (or gear) icon)

Select library links and search for the name of your Trust in the search box. Tick the box next to the name when it appears, and click Save.

Now every time you search Google Scholar, a link to the article will be displayed next to all the results that you have access to via this library. Simply click on the link to display the full text.

If the journal is only available in print format, details on where it is held will be given.
