Pay-Per-View (PPV) for Economic Geology Available on GeoScienceWorld |
Economic Geology has a Pay-Per-View (PPV) feature available on GeoScienceWorld. This feature is primarily intended for non-members and non-subscribers. Even if your institution does not have a paid subscription, your colleagues (unfortunate in not being members of SEG) can purchase access for a day to any single full-text article available on GSW. Many other journals on GSW also offer PPV – as an SEG member you may not have free access to these as you do for Economic Geology. To see which journals, and the years of their coverage available through PPV, please visit www.geoscienceworld.org/misc/journals_glance.dtl, and note the far right column. This chart shows which articles have PPV access, and which may have to be acquired through Document Delivery Service. We anticipate that this feature will increase access to Economic Geology.
