These titles cover the whole (or almost) field of medicine. Book format is either in PDF or HTML and as current as 2009. Please read the fine print at the bottom of the description for each title as not all are in English.

FB4D also provides free access to 60 online full-text medical journals. However, some articles are only accessible after a specified period (1-12 months) after publication depending on the conditions imposed by the publishers. Abstracts are provided for all. You could also subscribe to podcasts. Address is at: http://freebooks4doctors.com/

Hope you find it useful! Happy reading (Sorrylah, English broken sikit!!) Librarian

SSOAR is a full-text server, and Internet users can access full-text versions of documents free of charge and without prior registration. The repository follows the so-called “Green Road”, a strategy for the implementation of Open Access whereby preprints or postprints of scholarly contributions are archived in an openly-accessible repository in addition to being published in toll-access journals etc. Could someone have a go at it and report back your findings. Thank you.

Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available to the reader “without financial or other barrier other than access to the internet itself.” Some are subsidized, and some require payment on behalf of the author. Subsidized journals are financed by an academic institution or a government information center; those requiring payment are typically financed by money made available to researchers for the purpose from a public or private funding agency, as part of a research grant. There have also been several modifications of open access journals that have considerably different natures: hybrid open access journals and delayed open access journals.

Open access journals (sometimes called the “gold road to open access”) are one of the two general methods for providing open access. The other one (sometimes called the “green road”) is self-archiving in a repository. The publisher of an open Access jourinternetmag.gifnal is known as an open access publisher, and the process, open access publishing.
