Most databases make persistent links easy to find, but some require a little extra effort, and a select few don't generate persistent links for you at all. This table provides you with instructions for some of the popular databases that the library offers.
Database | Instructions |
---|---|
Usually, the URL in your address bar will be a persistent link. This can vary by journal, however, so always check the article record for anything labeled persistent link, permalink, stable link, link to this article, etc. |
|
Instead, look on the right side of the article's citation page for the chain icon labeled Permalink. Click it to make the persistent link appear. |

If you are ON CAMPUS, you will need to add the EZProxy Prepend at the beginning of the url so the link is accessible from OFF CAMPUS: http://ezproxy.montclair.edu:2048/login?url= When you access an article from a search, your search terms are highlighted, and your URL contains a question mark followed by a long mess. For example: http://www.jstor.org/stable/20543113?seq=2&Search=yes&list=hide&searchUri=3Bq6%3Bf4%3Dall%26amp%3Bla%3prevSearch=&resultsServiceName=null To remove the highlighting, copy the URL just up to the question mark (the part in bold here). Don't copy the question mark itself. You can also click on Email Citation to email the link to yourself. The citation sent includes the persistent link, which is listed as the Stable URL. |
