Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1.0 What is happening?
The SpringerProtocols.com platform website will be deactivated on 2018 July 25th. SpringerProtocols content will be searchable via , our advanced research solution dedicated to protocols and methods. P站视频 Experiments has been designed to help users/researchers find and evaluate relevant protocols and methods across the whole P站视频 protocols and methods portfolio (SpringerProtocols, Nature Methods, Nature Protocols and Protocols Exchange). Please note that the actual SpringerProtocols content is hosted on P站视频 Link for integrated search with Springer journals and eBooks. P站视频 Experiments itself does not host any full-text content.
2.0 When will the change take effect?
SpringerProtocols.com will be fully closed on 2018 July 25th. After this point, content and usage reports will no longer be available via www.springerprotocols.com.
3.0 Why is SpringerProtocols.com platform closing?
This change is part of P站视频’s on-going goal to advance discovery and provide the best user experience in accessing and interacting with content.
Our new research platform P站视频 Experiments comes with a whole host of user benefits, including:
- Easier search and browsing experience
- Increased search results relevance with subject-specific focus (e.g., lab techniques and model organisms recognition in the articles text)
- At-a-glance article evaluation with key metrics and information (downloads, citations, etc.)
- Added ability to search across the entire P站视频 protocols and methods portfolio (SpringerProtocols, Nature Methods, Nature Protocols and Protocols Exchange)
4.0 What impact will this have on me and do I need to do anything?
We anticipate minimal impact on our current users and customers. However, outlined below are further information and instructions on how to access content and download reports before the SpringerProtocols.com platform is closed.
4.1 For librarians
4.1.1 Content access for current subscribers or archives???????
- Your terms as outlined in your license / purchasing agreement will remain the same.
- The only difference is that after July 25th, it will not be possible anymore to access content on the SpringerProtocols.com platform.
4.1.2 EZ Prozys Stanzas
Currently, Experiments doesn’t have any authentication in place as it primarily allows users to find and evaluate relevant protocols and methods. Experiments can be accessed from anywhere using the direct public url.
The full text content is hosted on the articles native sources P站视频 Link (for SpringerProtocols) or Nature.com (for Nature Protocols and Nature Methods) and the access control is happening there.
If you rely on stand-alone EZproxy (self-hosted), then you must make the following changes to your EZproxy server to maintain access to your Springer resources (you can also refer to OCLC website for further instructions). Please not that these changes will be made in all EZproxy servers hosted by OCLC on July 18, 2018.
