6. Archives
With an annual subscription, access to the « archives » is authorised for reference only and not for full download. It is thus forbidden todownload and to save a copy of the archives that you obtain through a subscription or through free archives. Only the full acquisition of
the archives gives this right.
The archives are composed of:- Content published before the online version of the journal existed and which has been digitised in order to make available the online
archive (e.g.: Journal de Physique Archives).
- Content to which the subscriber has never subscribed, but that is free (articles that do not have an embargo or journals that are inopen access).
- Content to which the subscriber has never subscribed, but that is free thanks to his subscription to a journal. In this case, it means
free access to a certain number of back years. Access to these archives is not maintained for a user who does not renew hissubscription.
Use of the articles downloaded from the website:
No commercial use of articles obtained through subscriptions or free access is authorised. Though it is authorised for an author to use
an article on his personal site or on his institute’s open archives, this is possible only if the downloading does not concern all or almost allof the articles of a journal, which would be harmful to the economic or editorial model of the journal (excluding journals in open access).
