Can contributors get a free PDF version of their article?
We are unable to supply a free PDF copy of articles due to contractual agreements with our partners that prohibit us from giving free access to published PDFs. Journals are made sustainable through subscriptions and “pay per view” purchases. Authors contribute to the long-term sustainability of a journal by encouraging their institutions to subscribe or, to at least, purchase articles on a “pay per view” basis. Our partners (EBSCO and Atypon), who provide these services, demand that we do not undermine their efforts to sell electronic copies of journals by giving away free PDFs of published articles.
