Author Reprints and Eprints

ASM Author Center / Accepted Papers

Author Access to Your Article Online

The corresponding author will have limited access (10 downloads, total) to the PDF file of his/her published article. An e-mail alert will automatically be sent to him/her on the day the issue is posted. It will provide a URL, which will be required to obtain access, and instructions. An article may be viewed, printed, or stored, provided that it is for the author's own use.

Should coauthors or colleagues be interested in viewing the paper for their own use, the corresponding author may provide them with the URL; a copy of the article may not be forwarded electronically. However, they must be made aware of the terms and conditions of the ASM copyright. Note that each such download will count toward the corresponding author's total of 10. After 10 downloads, access will be denied and can be obtained only through a subscription to the journal (either individual or institutional) or after the standard access control has been lifted (i.e., 6 months after publication).

Purchasing Author Reprints and ePrints

Reprints (in multiples of 100) and eprints (downloadable PDFs) may be purchased by all coauthors. In addition to receiving the 10 free published PDF files mentioned above, the corresponding authors of Minireviews and Reviews may choose to receive 100 free eprints of their contribution and the corresponding authors of Commentaries may receive 50 free eprints. Instructions for retrieving gratis copies and for ordering additional reprints and eprints can be found in the billing notification e-mail sent to all corresponding authors.
