You and those you share with can view a shared article anytime, but please note that you cannot save the PDF or print it. For PDF saving/printing, you can upgrade to a full-access PDF on the publisher's website. Or if a "Get Access" button is present in the top toolbar of the shared article, you can also use ReadCube Checkout to purchase additional article access types. You can also login with your institutional proxy if you believe you have access to this article.


The interactive streaming article viewer is a technology pioneered by ReadCube and available within any of the ReadCube Papers apps. With this interactive version of the PDF, you can annotate, highlight, click inline references and author names, browse figures and easily access supplemental materials where available. Due to licensing restrictions, it is not possible to download a traditional PDF or print the article. You may, however, save the article and any annotations you may have made for offline viewing within any of ReadCube Papers' apps: desktop (PC/Mac), iOS and Android.
