How It Works
DeepDyve is the largest online rental service
for professional and scholarly research articles.
DeepDyve has aggregated millions of articles across thousands of journals from the world’s leading publishers, including Springer, Nature Publishing Group, Wiley-Blackwell and more.
Browse and preview any article for free. If you would like to go beyond the abstract and read the full article, you can rent the article and view it at DeepDyve for 24 hours or more, for as little as $0.99
By "renting" these premier articles, our users can save up to 90% compared to the cost of purchasing and downloading the PDF. Rented articles are only accessible via the DeepDyve website and can be read (but not printed or downloaded) from any computer that has a browser and a web connection (see FAQ). Rented articles can be viewed as often as you like until its expiration date.
Search and preview any article for FREE
DeepDyve has aggregated millions of articles from leading, peer-reviewed journals that are often hard to find using other search engines. Plus, our KeyPhrase search technology makes searching easier than ever. No more fussing with finding the right two or three words to express what you want. Feel free to copy a sentence, paragraph or even an entire document to find all the related articles without a lot of extraneous results. You’ll be able to read the first page of any article to get an overview of what's inside.
Read FREE "open-access" articles
Some of the articles in DeepDyve are "open-access" and marked as "Free" for any user to read. "Rent" a Premium article for as little as $0.99
"Premium" articles, that often have an annual subscription or pay-per-view fee, can conveniently be rented from DeepDyve. When you find a Premium article, simply click on the rental button.
First time users will be asked to set up a DeepDyve account. It takes just 3 quick steps and the article will be available to you immediately afterwards. Read the article as often as you like before it expires (24 hours for Basic account holders; 7 days for Bronze and Silver subscribers; no expiration for Gold). Because you are "renting" the article, as opposed to purchasing and downloading the PDF, you can only view the article from the DeepDyve site. Also note that some articles are "Preview-only" meaning DeepDyve does not yet have permission from the publisher to rent the article, but you can Preview the abstract for free.
