Citation Resources

Citation Linker

Citation Linker is a resource that allows researchers to reverse-search a citation to locate the journal article. Citation Linker will link researchers to the full text of an online article if the WashU Libraries subscribe to the resource. If the Libraries do not subscribe to the full text, search results will display other options for acquiring it, such as an InterLibrary Loan (ILL). Be sure to include as much information as possible when using Citation Linker.

Access Citation Linker

LibKey

LibKey allows researchers to discover access to articles or information by using unique identifying combinations of numbers, letters, and symbols for an article or document called Digital Object Identifier (DOI) or PubMed Identifier (PMID) numbers. LibKey is also connected to Quick Search search results.

Researchers can connect the LibKey Nomad browser extension for Chrome or Firefox for instant links to full-text content for articles subscribed to by the WashU Libraries or open-access alternatives. For more information on the browser extension, see the BrowZine & LibKey Nomad Libguide.

Access LibKey
