Citing Papers on Inflammablog5

Already a number of interesting papers have been referred to, and sometimes it's not clear how to access them. So let me suggest a good way. 

Find the paper on PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's huge archive: It's at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed or click here.  The easiest way to locate it is by entering one author's name in the search box, thus: fujisaki j

If you get several hits, look through them for the one you wanted and click on it to go to the abstract.

When you find the abstract, copy the URL that shows in the search line, like this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21654805 or click here

All of us can access the abstract that way. The screen will show you whether there is a link to the actual manuscript (look for a logo in the upper right corner). 


You can click to that, and then you will find out if you can access it free; that depends on where your computer is and what your library has negotiated with the publishers. 

If you are told you'll have to pay, try asking JJ or Zoë Cohen if they can get a copy for you.

I don't know if you can put a hyperlink in a Comment (has anyone figured that out?), but you can always insert the full URL which we can then cut and paste into our browser.
