Sometimes other options for the order are available. The basic results screen normally shows the article's Citation . The citation includes identifying features of the article, such as title, author, journal name, date, and page numbers. Near the citation will be Important Notes providing links to more information about the article or telling you useful things about it. The default Results Display usually has the most minimal information.
Most databases have an option to display the Full Record for an item.
Almost all library databases provide the article citation and abstract . The abstract describes the content of the article, while the citation gives you enough information to look for a copy of the article in a library. Most full text databases are really partial full text, meaning that not every single article listed will have the full text included. PDF documents look like photocopies of the original printed article. PDF preserves all the graphics, layout, and pagination of the article.
