If you'd like to post something about an article you find online, please feel free to go and post a short summary of the article (or an abstract, or the first paragraph or the like), along with a link to the full article for folks to read if they're interested.

Please refrain from posting entire copyrighted articles without first obtaining the author's explicit written permission. Exceptions can be made for articles that are behind pay walls and are for educational or research purposes, but these should be few and far between.

Thank you for your cooperation!

As long as they don't violate any copyright rules, and if they aren't available for online viewing via a link , I believe breaking them into sections and posting each section as post in the same thread.

If it is linked somewhere online that would be the easiest way to share.

These are articles that have been published in medical journals that I have ordered through my local medical library. Are they copywrite protected?
Thanks

It should be on the top or bottom of the pages, or check with the library to make sure.
I'd hate to see you go to all the trouble of getting it posted and us finding out it is copyrighted and having to remove it.

Or if you do a web search on the title & author , names, dates and such something should come up and maybe then you can find out if it is copyrighted or not.

Many papers & articles are fine to copy & keep for your own personal use, but when you post, or distribute it, that is where the legal factors come into play.

Just bumping this up as we are having some complaints from other sites due to copyright material being copy/pasted here.
