Re: Highwire Press Free Journals Cynthia Young 13 Mar 2008 15:05 UTC

Hi Barbara,

We've also had this issue brought to our attention recently.  I generally refer to the Highwire free title list:

http://highwire.stanford.edu/lists/freeart.dtl#ajprenal

I add a public note to any titles that only give access to "certain sections".

Hope that helps!
Cynthia
