Using CrossRef
CrossRef functionality is enabled using persistent links to the journal publisher's website showing a full bibliographical citation of the article, and, in most cases, the abstract as well. Subscribers to the journals are generally authenticated for full text access, and non-subscribed users presented with other options for access. (such as subscription, document delivery, or pay-per-view). Researchers in library environments may find that CrossRef links redirect to local holdings.
CrossRef links are found throughout the website and appear as links with this icon: 

Initiate CrossRef by clicking on the link.
A new window opens and you are taken to the journal publisher's website showing a full bibliographical citation of the article, and, in most cases, the abstract as well.

At this point you can determine your options for access, such as subscription, document delivery, or pay-per-view.
