​Article links need to exclude all extraneous information such as session IDs that may be appended to the main article link. Session IDs usually begin with a ? and are at the end of a URL - eg ?dgcid=raven_sd_via_email
Links must use the platform that the library's subscribes to - for instance, the Lancet links must go via a ClinicalKey link and not the Lancet home site itself.
Do NOT use the link that a URL resolves to when you want to share or create a hyperlink to it. For example, you end up here https://www-bmj-com.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/content/355/bmj.i6490 BUT the correct link format to share or reuse is https://login.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.i6490. The first type MAY work but is not a reliable way to represent the link.
Most publisher links can be converted by the simple addition of the Library's prefix (https://login.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=) to the front of an article URL, e.g.
https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/222/7/1086/5872489
to
https://login.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/222/7/1086/5872489/M20-1423
However some publishers have complex linking structures.
If you have trouble constructing a reliable link - ask us to help you.
Journals@Ovid and Books@Ovid links - click on the link called 'Email Jumpstart' or 'Email PDF Jumpstart' to reveal the link structure for an article. eg - the link will look like this -
https://ovidsp-ovid-com.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&AN=02075970-202312000-00003&LSLINK=80&D=ovft
Ovid is now providing a simpler linking structure for LWW titles for articles with DOIs - these will now work without having to use the structure shown above. For example this link https://doi.org/10.1097/ACM.0000000000002985 will now work like this https://login.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=https://doi.org/10.1097/ACM.0000000000002985
ClinicalKey article links have this structure -
https://login.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=https://www.clinicalkey.com.au/playContent/1-s2.0-S0972978X16301660
After navigation to the article you wish to link to, copy the final part of the URL that appears in the browser - eg 1-s2.0-S0889852916301037 to the string before it to create a new link.
https://login.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=https://www.clinicalkey.com.au/playContent/1-s2.0-S0889852916301037
ProQuest
After navigation to the article you wish to link to, copy the final part of the URL that appears in the browser - eg docview/2805225950/EB9A8DE3986C402BPQ/17?accountid=38630
and add it to the end of this url
https://login.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/nahp to create a new link.
e.g. https://login.wachslibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/nahp/docview/2805225950/EB9A8DE3986C402BPQ/17?accountid=38630
