There are three main ways to search the content of journals on Cambridge Journals Online: the Quick Search, the Cite Search and the Advanced Search.
The Quick Search box appears at the top right-hand side of every page throughout the site. Underneath it you will see links to Advanced Search and CrossRef Search and, beneath them, the Cite Search boxes.
Quick Search
To use the Quick Search facility, enter your search terms into the box and click 'Search'. This will run a search runs across the full text of all articles on the site and their associated metadata fields (title, author names, keywords, etc).
Cite Search
'Cite Search' provides you with a quick way of searching for content if you have an article citation to hand, or if you know some or all of the bibliographic details of the content you are looking for. In other words, it is a more precise search tool than 'Quick Search' because you can use more search criteria. At the same time, because you already know what you are looking for you don't need the powerful search capabilities provided by 'Advanced Search'.
To use 'Cite Search' first select the journal you are interested in using the drop-down list provided. Then you can use any or all of the other fields (Author, Year, Volume, Issue, Page) to narrow down your search further. Note, however, that you can use any of the fields on their own (once you have selected a journal) except for the 'Page' field. If you try to do this you will see an error message asking you to enter more data.
Advanced Search
If you wish to narrow your search further, use the Advanced Search tool. (See Help on Advanced Search for more information.)
CrossRef search will allow you to search all participating publishers' content. For more information about CrossRef, visit the CrossRef website.
To find out how we rank your search results, see Help on Search Results.
Some basic search techniques
The best way to enter a key phrase is to put it in quotation marks (for example "genetic epidemiology"). This will search for the exact phrase.
You can also be precise about the combination of words you are searching for. Use a plus (+) before words you require, and a minus (-) before words you don't want to include. For example, +genetic +epidemiology -"epidemiology and infection" will find articles with genetic and epidemiology in them, but no articles containing the exact phrase 'epidemiology and infection'.
When you use lower-case key words, you will also get matches with capitalised words. Similarly, if you use capitalised words you will get matches with lower case words.
You can use an asterisk (*) as a wild card (for example, fish* will find matches for Fisher, Fisher's, fishes, fisher).
The 'Society Members' page allows Society Administrators to give their society members access to society journals. (The 'Members' page appears in the Account Administrator's menu if you have registered with us as your society's administrator. If you have not yet done this, you will need to contact Customer Services to do so.)
The first thing you will need to do is upload a file containing just the society's membership numbers. The membership numbers can contain both letters and numbers but should be no more than 10 characters in length. The file must be a text file where each number starts on a new line.
Example
21344
4534
4324343
To upload the file, click 'Upload Membership Number' at the top of the page. You will be taken to a new page which will allow you to browse your desktop for your membership numbers text file and upload it to Cambridge Journals Online. (See Help on Upload membership number.)
When you register as the Society Administrator, you will be given a Society ID by Cambridge Customer Services. You should provide your members with this number and with their individual Society Subscription ID (ie the membership number you uploaded to the site). Members who are registered users of Cambridge Journals Online will then be able to use the 'Activate society subscriptions' page to gain access to the full-text of society journals.
Society members listing
The list that appears on the 'Members' page is of those members who have activated their society subscription. The default order of this list is by 'Membership Number' (the membership numbers previously uploaded to the society account.) Note: the 'Member ID' number displayed in the list is a Cambridge allocated number and is used for internal identification purposes.
Society members listing options
You can change how the list is organised by selecting a different 'Sort by' option: Member ID, Last Name, First Name.
You can also decide how many results appear per page, by using the 'Results per page' menu. (It defaults to 10 results per page.)
You can jump to a specific page in the entire list of results by using the 'Go to page' menu and you can also navigate to the first, previous, next and last pages of the entire list of results by clicking the corresponding page navigation links.
All of these search result options can be located at the top and bottom of all search result pages.
Access from the society's website
Society members can also be given direct access to their journal from the society's website. We can set up a link that is accessible from the member's area of the society's website and takes them directly to the full text of the society journal on Cambridge Journals Online. If you would like this arrangement for your society, please get in touch with your main editorial contact at Cambridge University Press
This tool is designed to retrieve journal information from our database and provide it in a convenient format for use in other applications. It is particularly useful for Account Administrators and librarians who need to do things like produce listings, check claims or create deep links to journal homepages from their OPACs. It is also a useful way for individual users to check which journals they should have access to.
1. Select which journals you want to include in your listing
There are three ways of doing this. You can include only those journals to which the computer you are working on has full-text access. To do this, scroll down to the bottom of the page and check the 'Available to this IP only' box. (Note: this checks the access rights of the computer you are using not your individual access rights.) Or you can create a complete listing of all Cambridge journals by making sure that the 'Available to this IP only' box is unchecked. (Note: this list will include all journals which have had content available on Cambridge Journals Online, some of which may now have moved to different publishers.) Thirdly, you can select particular journals for inclusion by using the drop-down list of journals or you can select by subject area using the drop-down subject list.
Note: to select more than one option from a drop-down menu, if you are using a PC hold down the Control (CTRL) key while clicking on the options that you would like to select. On Macintoshes, use the Apple key.
2. Select the information you want listed
Use the 'Fields to Display' drop-down menu to choose the field types.
3. Select a format
Use the 'Output file' drop-down menu to choose how you wish to view or export the data. You can choose to display the listings on screen so that you can check it before exporting it. If you choose to display the results on screen, the results page will allow you to select a format for outputting to file without having to return to the previous page. If you would like your data to be formatted into an Excel spreadsheet file, select "Excel Spreadsheet" from the list of options. If you want to incorporate the data into local databases or other types of applications, select either the Tab or Comma Delimited file formats. If you choose one of these options, the data will automatically be previewed on screen. When you are satisfied with the listing, click 'Download file'.
Example of Comma Delimited Format:
Ageing & Society,Cambridge University Press,0144-686X
Example of Tab Delimited Format:
Ageing & Society Cambridge University Press
0144-686X
RSS and Atom feeds have become standards for syndicating content. They
are computer-readable files that summarise new content as it appears on a website. (RSS and Atom are two different formats that do basically the same thing. RSS is the more established, but Atom is becoming increasingly widespread.)
How to get RSS or Atom feeds from Cambridge Journals Online
To receive news feeds you first need to be a registered user and to have logged in. Then, if you have not already done so, you need to install a newsreader on your computer. You will find a list of readers at Syndication resources. Some are free and some you have to pay for, some support RSS only but many support both RSS and Atom. (Please note: Cambridge University Press cannot recommend a particular newsreader, nor can we provide technical support for its installation and use.)
You will then need to find the RSS or Atom icon for the Cambridge journal(s) you want to receive feeds from. You can do this by going to the RSS/Atom page which appears under the Browse menu in the left-hand navigation panel. (Alternatively, you can click on the RSS/Atom icons that appear on individual journal homepages.)
The 'Browse RSS/Atom' page lists Cambridge Journals alphabetically by title. Find the journal you are interested in, then click either the RSS or Atom icon next to it. This will open a new page, at the bottom of which you will see either one or two URLs. The first (or only) URL will give you a feed for the latest issue of a particular journal. The feed contains a brief description of the journal and a list of the articles that appear in that issue. If you click on the title of an article you will go to the article's abstract from where you can click through to the abstract on Cambridge Journals Online. From there, if you or your organisation subscribes to the journal, you will be able to access the full text of the article. The second URL, if it is displayed, will give you a feed for forthcoming articles. These are articles that are available on Cambridge Journals Online before the next issue of the journal has been published. This option is not available for all Cambridge Journals as not all of them publish their articles incrementally in this way.
To receive either or both of these feeds you need to cut and paste the relevant URL(s) into your newsreader. You will need to repeat this process for every journal you want to get feeds from.
This page displays the total cost of the items in your basket, including the tax you will be charged for online and print items. (Tax for online items is charged at the rate applicable in the country you are ordering from. For print items, the tax will be charged at the rate applicable in the country we are despatching the order to.) When you are happy to proceed, click the 'Next' button.
Content alerts are email notifications that new journal content has been published on Cambridge Journals Online. If you are a registered user you can set up your contents alerts in a number of different ways using the 'My Content Alerts' page. Depending on your preferences you can receive tables of contents or information about individual articles. (You can also opt to run saved searches periodically and receive the results by email - see Help on Advanced Search and My Saved Searches).
My content alerts
Set alert preferences
The 'Set alert preferences' section allows you to decide what kind of alerts you want to receive, how often you want to receive them and in what format.
You can choose to receive an email whenever a new issue of a journal you are interested in is published online. To do this, click the first radio button under 'Set alert preferences'.
Or you can choose to receive a regular email that tells you which new issues of the journal(s) you are interested in have been published online in a particular period. You can specify exactly how often you want to receive those emails. This is a useful option if you are tracking a number of different journals and prefer to consolidate the alerts into a single, regular update. To do this, click the second radio button and state how frequently you want to receive the email in the field provided.
If you want to stop receiving all content alerts, you can unsubscribe by clicking the third radio button: 'Do not send me an email alert when new issues are published online'. If you want to unsubscribe from some content alerts but not others, go to the list of journals below and uncheck the journals you are no longer interested in.
You can also opt to receive an email notifying you if any of the journals you are interested in publishes individual articles online in advance of the issue as a whole. To do this, check the box next to: 'Send me an email alert every x days listing any individual articles that have been published online from any of the journals selected below', specifying how often you would like to receive the email.
You can also choose whether to receive emails in HTML or as text only, by clicking the appropriate radio button.
Once you have made your selection, click 'Update' then go to 'Select journals' to choose the journal(s) you want to track.
Select journals
Click one of the journal subjects under the 'Subjects available' heading. The journals in that subject area will be displayed and you can either click on 'Select all Journals' at the top of each section or choose individual journals from the list.
If you are interested in hearing about individual articles published in advanced of whole issues (and you checked the box above to indicate that preference) you will also need to specify here which journals you wish that to apply to by clicking the 'Forthcoming article alert' checkbox. If you only want to be informed when complete issues have been published, click the 'Issue alert' checkbox. If you click both, you will hear about individual articles as they are published, then receive the table of contents either when the issue is complete or as part of your next periodic alert, depending on your preference. Once you have made your selection, click the 'Update' button at the bottom of the page.
The Advanced Search facility allows you to refine your searches to increase the relevance of your search results. The following search criteria can be used in an Advanced Search query:
Search On using the drop-down boxes on the left hand side you can choose to search any of the following fields:
Anywhere - this allows you to search across all fields.
Full Text - searches only the main text of an article.
Article Title - searches in the title text.
Author - searches author names.
Affiliation - searches author affiliations listed in articles.
Abstract - searches only within the abstract of an article.
Keywords - searches keywords listed in articles (please note that this is only available for journals that publish article keywords).
DOI - searches for a specific Digital Object Identifier.
ISSN - searches for a specific ISSN or EISSN for a journal
Search For - type your search terms here
Using the AND, OR, AND NOT boxes
Use these boxes to construct more complex searches.
Some examples:
Searching for Author: Clark AND Anywhere: influenza will find all articles that contain the word influenza by all authors whose name is Clark.
Searching for Author: Clark OR Anywhere: influenza will find all articles that contain the word influenza and all articles by authors whose name is Clark.
Searching for Author: Clark AND NOT Anywhere: influenza will find all articles by authors whose name is Clark except those that contain the word influenza.
Searching for Abstract: influenza AND NOT Author: Clark will find all articles that contain the word influenza in the abstract, except those that are by an author whose name is Clark.
For searches on more than two terms the search is bracketed.
Example:
Anywhere: influenza AND Author: Clark OR Anywhere: epidemiology AND Title: community will search for (((Anywhere: influenza AND Author: Clark) OR Anywhere: epidemiology) AND Title: community) - which will find all articles that contain influenza that have Clark as an Author and community in the title and all articles that contain the word epidemiology and have community in the title.
Other ways of refining your search
Journals - by default the search is across all journal content on Cambridge Journals Online. This box allows you to narrow your search to specific journals. Use the list* to select the journal(s) you want to search across.
Subjects - this allows you to search particular subject areas. Use the list* to select the subject(s) you are interested in.
Limit your search by date
You can also refine your searches by publication date. (Note: the publication date is the cover date of the journal issue.)
From - select the earliest publication month and year from the drop-down menu.
To - select the latest publication month and year from the drop-down menu.
Searches can also be filtered for certain criteria and you can control how the search results will be displayed:
Number of results per page - allows you to choose how many search results will display on each page
Exclude book reviews - allows you to remove book reviews from the search results
Only search journals you have full access to - allows you to remove from the search results any articles that you do not have full-text access to
Specific article type - allows you restrict the article types to be displayed by choosing from a drop-down menu*
Fields to be included - allows you to choose from a drop-down menu* which fields you would like displayed on the search results page
Once you have specified all your search criteria and search filters, click 'Search'. You can click 'Reset' at any time in order to clear the form.
To select multiple items from any list hold down the Ctrl key (PC) or Apple key (Mac) while selecting items from the list.
This page is displayed when you have carried out a quick or advanced search, and lists the articles that match your search criteria. The default order of this list is by 'Relevancy', which displays articles in order of their relevance to the search criteria used (ie the most relevant article appears first).
How we calculate relevancy
Simple searching runs across the full text of articles and their associated metadata fields (title, author names, keywords, etc). The ranking of the results of the search is determined by the number of times the search term occurs in the full text or in any of the metadata fields, with some fields weighted to raise their results ranking. This means that a search for Smith will usually rank results with Smith in the title or as an author above those results where Smith appears in the full text. However, if the search term appears many times in the full text of a document, it will appear near the top of any set of results. It should also be noted that the ranking takes into account the total number of words found in the document or in the metadata fields. Therefore, a single author result will be ranked above an author found in a multi-authored paper.
For example
A Simple Search for Jonathan Smith will return a list of documents ranked as described above.
A document containing 10 occurrences of Jonathan and 10 of Smith will be listed above a document with 12 occurrences of Jonathan only.
A document authored by Michael Smith and containing the words Jonathan and Smith once each within its full text will be listed above a document authored by John Brown that also contains Jonathan and Smith once within its full text.
A document containing Physics 100 times in its full text will be listed above a document with Physics in its title.
And, of course, you can further refine your results using the Advanced Search facility.
For more information about the relevancy formula used, see the Lucene website.
Search results format
Each article entry in the list follows this format (unless you modified the format using the Advanced Search feature):
- Title
- Author
- Journal, Volume, Issue, Month, Page range
- DOI, online publication date
- Article content links (Abstract, PDF, HTML, etc...) or 'Add to basket' link
Search results options
The search results are automatically displayed in order of relevance. However, you can change this by selecting a different 'Sort by' option: Journal, Author, Price and Access. To select another option, click on the 'Sort by' drop-down menu, and then click on the option you prefer.
You can also control how many results appear on a page. The default value is set at 10 results per page. For more results per page, click the 'Results per page' drop-down menu, and click on the number you prefer.
You can jump to a specific page in the entire list of results by clicking the 'Go to page' menu. You can also navigate to the first, previous, next and last pages of the entire list of results by clicking the corresponding navigation links.
All of these search result options appear at the top and bottom of all search result pages.
Further search options
You can perform further searches on the search results displayed to get a more precise search result. To search within results, enter your search criteria in the input field below 'Your enquiry has returned XX matches', at the top of the page. Click the 'Search within results' radio button and then click the 'Search' button above it.
To perform a new search, enter your search criteria in the input field below 'Your enquiry has returned XX matches', at the top of the page. Click the 'New search' radio button and then click the 'Search' button above it.
If you would like to refine your search criteria, click your browser's 'Back' button to take you back to the Advanced Search page which will still display your original search criteria. To carry out a new Advanced Search, click on the 'Advanced Search' link to go to a new search form.
Once you found the article(s) you are looking for...
... you can save them, export their citations and add them to your shopping basket.

To personalise Cambridge Journals Online and to take advantage of all its features, you need to register. You can either do this from the home page or from any page within the site by clicking 'Register now' which appears just below 'Welcome' at the top left of every page.
This will bring up the Registration page. Enter your details into the appropriate input fields, making sure that you complete the required fields that are marked with an asterisk (*).
If you want to be the Account Administrator (see Help on Account Administrator) for your organisation, you will need to enter your organisation's name, then click the 'I want to be the administrator for my organisation' checkbox.
Note that once you have selected your country from the drop-down 'Country' menu, the page will automatically reload to display the appropriate information in the 'County / State / Province' drop-down menu.
You will also need to provide a username and password. The username and password must both have a minimum of four and a maximum of eight characters. They can be a combination of letters and numbers and are case-sensitive.
We also ask you to enter a word or phrase that will remind you of your password. For example, this could be your place of birth, favourite football team or the name of a family pet.
When you have filled in the required fields and have read, agreed to and ticked the 'Terms of Use' checkbox, click 'Submit' at the bottom of the page. You will then see a 'Registration successful' page.
Note: if you don't fill in all the required fields, or if some of the information you enter already exists on the system, you will be asked to amend the relevant fields. If this happens, you will also need to re-enter and confirm your password.
If you checked the 'I want to be the administrator for my organisation' you will now be asked to enter your organisation's IP ranges in the field provided. This is an added security measure to ensure that only authorised members of staff can set themselves up as Account Administrators. (See Help on 'Configure IP addresses' for more information about IP addresses and ranges.)
This feature allows you to transfer the role of Account Administrator to another registered user in your organisation. To do this you will need to know the Cambridge Journals Online username and password of the new user.
To change administrator, enter the current administrator's password into the corresponding input field. Then enter the username and password of the new administrator into their corresponding input fields. Click 'Update' at the bottom of the page.
Once updated, the Account Administrator's functions are transferred to the new administrator with immediate effect. The previous administrator will no longer have access to the Account Administrator tools.
To give members of your organisation access to the journals you have subscribed to, you need to supply the IP addresses that identify the eligible machines on your network. Use the 'Configure IP addresses' page in the Account Administrator's menu to do this and to make any changes to your IP configuration. However, please note that if you are part of a consortium or license agreement with us you will need to email journals@cambridge.org to set up or amend your IPs.
Adding, deleting and excluding IP addresses
If you want to add a single IP address or range, enter it into the first text box and click 'Update' at the bottom of the page. If you want to add more than one IP address or range, use the second, larger text box and enter the IP addresses or ranges with a comma (,) between them. Click 'Update' to make the changes.
All of your existing IP addresses or ranges are displayed on the page. If you wish to delete any of these, check the 'Delete' box that appears next to it/them and click 'Update'.
If you wish to exclude any of your listed IP addresses from within ranges, tick the 'Exclude' checkbox and click 'Update'. You can also enter any IP addresses you wish to exclude in the first textbox, tick the 'Exclude' check box next to it and click 'Update'.
IP addresses are made up of four numeric components separated by a full stop (period). Each numeric component ranges from 0 to 255. You can express an IP range by using a hyphen (-) and you can use a wildcard within a range by using an asterisk (*).
About IP addresses
Examples of valid IP address formats (note the numbers are used as examples only):
- 121.18.19.20 = a single IP address
- 121.18.19.* = all IP addresses beginning 121.18.19
- 121.18.19.0-255 = a range of IP addresses from 121.18.19.0 to 121.18.19.255 inclusive (ie the same as the example above)
- 121.18.* = all IP addresses beginning 121.18
- 121.18.0-255. = all IP addresses in the range 121.18.0-255 (ie all addresses beginning 121.18)
- 121.18.0-255.0-255 = all IP addresses beginning 121.18
- 121.* = all IP addresses beginning 121
- 121.0-255.0-255.0-255 = all IP addresses beginning 121
Note: In the previous version of Cambridge Journals Online organisations were able to manage their access rights using domain names as well as IP addresses. To simplify access management, this is no longer the case for new organisations registering with us. However, if you previously supplied us with domain names your access rights will be unaffected.
The Journal information page contains all the key information about the journal, including a description of its aims and scope, its publication frequency and subscription information. It is also the 'gateway' to the journal's content.
To access the journal's content, go to 'Available volumes' in the middle of the page and click on either the most recent issue or volume displayed or on 'show back volumes' to find previous issues. Clicking on an issue will take you directly to the table of contents; clicking on a volume will bring up the issue numbers for that volume, which, in turn, will take you to their tables of contents.
An increasing number of journals will also display a link to 'Forthcoming articles'. Forthcoming articles are articles that are available on Cambridge Journals Online before the issue to which they belong has been published. This link only appears on the homepages of those journals that are publishing incrementally in this way.
You can look for particular types of article, using the drop-down menu 'View articles by type'. This feature is useful if, for example, you want to find all the book reviews published in that particular journal.
At the bottom of the page are the rates for the various types of subscription available for the journal. Clicking on 'Subscribe' will take you directly to the shopping basket.
From the right-hand navigation panel, you can access the following features:
Search journal contents

Each table of contents has the journal's title, subtitle and main editor(s) displayed at the top of the page.
The table of contents is arranged by article type and sorted by page number.
The following information is provided for each article:
title, author(s), journal title, volume, issue, circulation date, page number,

Right-hand navigation panel
From this panel you can access a number of useful features: you can set up contents alerts; bookmark the issue you are looking at; forward the table of contents to a colleague; subscribe to the journal; return to the journal's homepage.
As well as the standard 'Quick Search' and 'Cite Search' features available throughout the site, you also have the option here to restrict your quick search to the journal ('Search journal contents') or the specific issue ('Search this issue') you are looking at.
Increasingly, Cambridge Journals are being made available in full-text HTML as well as PDF. Those journals available in HTML have an 'H' icon next to them in the journal listings.
The full-text HTML is accessible from the journal's table of contents. Clicking on the 'HTML' link opens a new window. At the top of the page you will see the article's bibliographic information, including its doi and its online publication date. Immediately beneath that information there are three links that allow you to: subscribe to the journal; to email the article's abstract to a colleague and to save the citation to your 'My saved articles' page. (You need to have registered and logged in to have access to these features. See the related Help pages for more information.)
Navigation
At the top of each article on the right-hand side of the page, a navigation panel allows you to move quickly around the journal content and gives you access to a number of citation features. The navigation allows you to go back to the journal homepage (by clicking on the Volume); to the table of contents (by clicking on the Issue); to the abstract; to the previous and next articles; and to the PDF version of the article you are looking at.
Citations
You can find out if this article has been cited elsewhere by using 'Cited by Articles (CrossRef)' and 'Cited by Articles (Google Scholar)'. If you click on either of these links a new window opens that lists - and provides links to - articles in CrossRef or Google Scholar that cite the article you are viewing. If you have registered and are logged in, you can also set up citation alerts to tell you when an article you are interested in has been cited in another publication. See Help on Citation Alerts for more information.
The abstract
The article's abstract appears before the article itself, followed by a list of figures, tables and illustrations (if the article contains any) and key headings within the article. These are provided as links to make it easy to navigate around the content.
Reference linking
Full-text HTML means that we can offer reference linking to help you find related research articles. When an article is cited, the date of the article will appear as a link. Clicking on that link will take you to the reference in the bibliography. If the cited article is available via CrossRef or Medline or appears elsewhere on Cambridge Journals Online a link from the bibliography will take you to it. In addition, for all cited articles in the bibliography we provide a search string you can use in an OpenURL resolver (see below).
OpenURL query
This allows users with access to an OpenURL resolver to find the article. If your library has its own resolver this will tell you whether the article is available to you as part of the library's collection. Click on the 'Open URL query data' link. This will open a new window containing a search string that complies with the OpenURL standard. If your organisation is registered with us and your Account Administrator has given us the URL of your local OpenURL resolver, a link to it will appear in the window. You can then copy and paste the search string directly into that resolver. If no link appears, you can cut and paste into any other resolver.
Medline
Medline is a database containing abstracts of, and bibliographic information about, articles published across the biomedical and life sciences since 1965. If a full-text HTML Cambridge article cites an article that appears in Medline you will be able to link directly to the Medline record which, in turn, links to the article on the publisher's website.
CrossRef
A CrossRef link means the article cited belongs to a participating CrossRef publisher. Clicking on the link will take you directly to the article cited.

Unicode Characters
Our HTML content uses the Unicode Character Set to identify characters which are not part of the standard Latin character sets/symbols. We do this to extend the range of characters and symbols that can be displayed using an Internet Browser such as Explorer or Firefox. Many of our journals contain highly specialised content requiring character sets/symbols that are specifically for and unique to a subject area. However Internet Browsers and available fonts place limitations on the number of specialist characters that can be displayed correctly.
Support for Unicode depends on the type and version of the browser being used and the fonts installed on an individuals machine. These are configuration issues over which we have no control, so consequently the same article may display correctly for someone with a specialist font or latest browser but incorrectly for someone with a default font or older browser. In order to minimise this discrepancy we have defined a set of Unicode characters that display correctly in the browsers that CJO supports using the default font Arial (on a PC) and Ventura (on Mac), characters that are not in this set are replaced by images of the character or symbol. If this was not done, unsupported characters would display as an empty rectangle, not display at all or display the default behaviour for the browser being used.
This has the advantage of enabling users to display the maximum number of unsupported characters. However, it also means that the level is set to a low threshold so users with specialist fonts that could view the special characters will still see the images rather than the Unicode character. There can also be mismatches in the style of the character if it should appear inside an word that is italic or bold. As browsers increase their support for Unicode we will be able to reduce the use of images in the HTML and we hope that this approach will enable you to get the most out of the HTML content.

Abstracts of journal articles are available to all users of Cambridge Journals Online and can be accessed from a journal's tables of contents. As well as a short description of the article's contents, the abstract provides the following information:
The article's DOI
The article's online publication date
The date the article was originally accepted for publication. (This is provided by the journal's editorial office and may not be available for all journals.)
The names and affiliations of the author(s)
Contact details for those wishing to enter into correspondence with the author(s)
Where available, a link to Medline's database of authors
A list of the keywords that have been used to index the article

Features for registered users
If you are a registered user you can also save the citation to your 'Saved Articles' page, sign up to receive new contents alerts and forward the abstract to an interested colleague (see Help on 'Forward abstract'.)
Symbols in Articles and Abstracts
Every effort has been made to represent special character symbols (for example, the Greek symbol kappa) correctly within articles and abstracts. Where Web browsers cannot represent these symbols correctly, they are converted to image files.
Each subscribing organisation needs to appoint an Account Administrator who will be solely responsible for purchasing its subscriptions and managing online access.
The Account Administrator:
- purchases subscriptions on behalf of their organisation
- activates and manages user access to the full text of journals
- customises the screens that library users will see
- monitors usage of the journals at their organisation
The Account Administrator can be any designated individual and is most likely to be a member of the library staff.
Note: with this version of Cambridge Journals Online there can only be one Account Administrator for each organisation.
Registering as the Account Administrator
If you want to set yourself up as the Account Administrator for your organisation, see Help on Registration for detailed instructions. Once you are registered as the Account Administrator, and have logged in, you will have access to the Account Administrator's menu which allows you to manage your subscriptions. To change Account Administrators, click on 'Change Administrator' which appears in the Account Administrator's menu (see Help on Change Administrator).
