For a video about how to start with a known article and then bring up the corresponding full text, go to this tutorial (mentioned elsewhere in this guide); in its menu, find the 13th module, "Have Citation, Get Article".
Below are some points about preprints and postprints. See here for a definitions of these.
PREPRINTS
You might encounter the question whether a preprint was ultimately published as a peer-reviewed journal article. There are a few ways to handle this question.
1. Use the following database; contact Brian Simboli for details.
"Discover preprints for key research articles ahead of the formal publication in a journal from a range of international selected and evaluated preprint repositories in the sciences, social sciences and arts & humanities " (Clarivate). Documentation about this database.
2. Search a preprint repository to see if someone posted the postprint version there, or search Google Scholar, or go to a library database. Try searching on the title of the preprint, or try out keywords from the title of the preprint in case the postprint has an altered title. You can then look in the search results for any indication that it represents the postprint version.
POSTPRINTS
When filling an ILLiad request, if you have trouble finding the final publisher typeset version of an article, or if an ILL order for the that version is taking time to arrive, see if a postprint version is available online that is not the typeset version and let the requester know.
