You have several choices about how to see ALL of our full text:

1. In Catalyst, go to the Citation Linker page and enter the information about what you are looking for:
   
   
    
2. Most of our databases will show you a FIND IT link (make sure you're logged in or on Hopkins wifi so that you see them)
    
3. Also: if you are logged in or on Hopkins wifi, Google Scholar will show arrows under the citation -- click on that and it will become a FINDIT link:

Zotero's extensions

• Zotero is a free software for managing references

• See this page for Zotero extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari

• To save papers to Zotero directly:  clicking the icon saves the citation data (e.g. journal, authors, title) and the PDF

• Zotero also allows export as a Bibtex file, which is useful when writing papers with LaTeX

• Once PDFs are saved to Zotero, just double-click on Zotero to access the PDF directly

Also, the plugin has a “reload via proxy” option -- this redirects articles as if you were accessing it through the library website, which makes it much easier to find articles quickly.

Zotero also shows you whether you have a retracted article

• When a paper is retracted for some reason, you may not know that and may cite it

• However, Zotero works with Retraction Watch to let you know when you plan to cite a retracted paper

• Note: "This feature is limited to items with a DOI or PMID (entered in the DOI field or in Extra as “DOI:”, “PMID:”, or “PubMed ID:”), which covers about 3/4 of Retraction Watch data"
