How to get access to articles
Search Oria
Search for an article in Oria, our library search. If UiO does not have access to the article, see the paragraph How to get access to articles that UiO does not subscribe to.
Search the Internet
Search for articles as you usually do, and use browser extensions that can show you where you can find open versions of an article.
We recommend these tools:
- EZproxy bookmarklet
Makes it easy to see if you have full-text access to library resources, without having to go via Oria. - LibKey Nomad ++
The “LibKeyNomad" browser extension recognizes electronic resources you visit regardless of how you find them. The extension also searches for open versions of articles (Open Access). - Unpaywall (for Chrome and Firefox)
Take you to an openly available version of the article you are searching for – if there is one. Download and install from unpaywall.org/products/extension. - Open Access Button (works best with Chrome and Firefox)
Take you to an openly available version of the article you are searching for – if there is one. In addition, you can contact the authors and ask them to archive the article to an open academic repository. Download and install from openaccessbutton.org. - Google Scholar Button (for Chrome and Firefox)
Adds a browser button for easy access to Google Scholar from any web page. Search for the Google Scholar Button to find, download and install the extension.
