Are the HighWire links OpenURL compatible?

Yes. HighWire-hosted journals are completely compliant as a target, meaning that OpenURL resolvers can link to the content they host. Resolution is possible because HighWire supports a consistent format for URLs.

The general form for any resolver will be, in the case of Duke journals:

http://journalabbreviation.dukejournals.org/cgi/content/full/volume/issue/firstpage
E.g.:
http://jhppl.dukejournals.org/cgi/reprint/31/6/1047
http://neuro-oncology.dukejournals.org/cgi/content/full/9/1/12

Since volume, issue and first page are passed as part of an OpenURL, users are able to configure their article linker software to link to articles in our journals.

HighWire URLs may be downloaded from our Electronic Access page.

Does my institution need to sign a site license agreement in order to access Duke University Press titles on HighWire?

Institutions purchasing the e-Duke Journals Scholarly Collection must submit a signed site license agreement.

Institutions subscribing to individual Duke University Press titles are not required to sign a site license agreement, but we do ask that institutions follow Duke University Press Institutional Terms and Conditions.
