DEEPDYVE LAUNCHES '5-MINUTE FREEMIUM' SERVICE

摘要

DeepDyve, an online rental service for scholarly and professional research articles, has launched a new "freemium" offering whereby users can preview the full text of any article at no charge for five minutes per day. Users no longer have to settle for simply reading abstracts. With just an e-mail address and password, users can sign up quickly and gain free access to more than 8 million articles from 3000 peer-reviewed journals that previously resided behind paywalls. Users can browse and sample as many articles as they wish; however, each article can only be previewed once every 24 hours.
