Using Browzine to view NHS Journals

By

 Do you need to find the full-text of an article? Do you want to view the latest issue of a journal title?

You can view NHS-based journal titles using Browzine.

Browzine is an online resource which allows you to search for journal titles and check the access options for journal articles. You may be able to:

  • Access full-text via a PDF download
  • Link to the full-text online
  • Request a copy from the Health Library

Some content presented will be freely available as open access content; some will be subscribed content and you will need to log in using your NHS OpenAthens username. Some content will not be available and you can submit an article request to the library. We will then try to locate a copy from another library.

How to access Browzine

You will need to link to the version of Browzine that is set up for your NHS organization.

We support NHS staff who work for:

  • University Hospitals of North Midlands
  • North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare
  • GPs, GP practices and CCGs within Staffordshire

You can find the links to Browzine on our web pages:

Search for a Journal Title

Once you click your organisaton link for Browzine, you are presented with the main search page. You can double check that you have selected the correct list by checking the organization name.

Enter your journal title or keyword to search for a journal title. Or browse the journal list by selecting the subject / specialty area.

Clicking the title in the search results list presents the journal page. Here you can see: the journal title, list of issues, table of contents for the issue selected and an option to view all issues.

Example journal page for the Annals of Plastic Surgery

Underneath the article title you can see the access options for the article. If access is via one of our subscribed titles, you will be prompted for your NHS OpenAthens login.

The “See All” option takes you to the Knowledge & Library Hub list where you can view our complete holding if available.

Article integrity checks for NHS staff

By
Want to have extra quality and integrity checks for the articles you find? Use library NHS resources and get warnings if the article you're reading fails integrity checks. NHS resources use LibKey to easily point you to subscribed resources. Now LibKey also does a number of integrity checks to help you feel confident with the articles you find. You’ll get warnings about: Retracted articles Retracted article citation (where an article includes references to articles which have been retracted) Expression of concern for the article (where publishers have concerns about some aspect of a published article) Problematic publishers information Warnings are presented at point of access whether from article links in databases or on the web via LibKey Nomad. Make sure you use library resources so that you are using LibKey links and integrity checks. For more help please contact the eresources librarian c.kent@keele.ac.uk
