Is there a pay-per-view option?

Yes. Duke University Press offers a pay-per-view option for titles hosted on HighWire Press. From the Duke University Press Journal Online portal page, visit each individual journal home page for pay-per-view options.

Are Duke University Press journal URLs 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:
journalabbreviation.dukejournals.org/cgi/content/full/volume/issue/firstpage

e.g.:
jhppl.dukejournals.org/cgi/reprint/31/6/1047
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.
