MNRAS & MNRAS Letters-access changes

MNRAS (Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society) and MNRAS Letters have changed publisher. The electronic versions of these journals have moved from the Blackwell/Synergy site to the Wiley InterScience platform. This means that the linking URLs have changed.


IfA access to these titles is via the UHM Hamilton Library proxy server. [IfA Library maintains a 'Journals' list of current, correct links.]
Right now Hamilton's link goes to a general Wiley InterScience page. From there, clicking on 'Physics and Astronomy' from the subject list, and then either 'Astronomy and Astrophysics' or 'Journals' will take you to these titles' top pages.


These links: MNRAS (Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society) and
MNRAS Letters
will take you to directly to the journals' top pages. Authentication is required.


When attempting to download PDFs of current MNRAS Letters items, I was taken to a pay-per-view screen; when I tested older items, the downloads succeeded.
I believe that this pay-per-view glitch & Hamilton's awkward links to these titles will be cleared up shortly.


ADS provides archival full text access to MNRAS for v.1-353 (1827 Feb-2004 Oct); more recent content is licensed by the publisher.

If you experience any difficulties accessing MNRAS or MNRAS Letters, please let the IfA librarians know.
