Your results are displayed in a list of citations. Each citation gives you key information, such as article title, author, journal, and a snippet of the abstract. You can open the full citation for more details or go straight to the article.


What’s in a citation?

The full citation gives you a more in-depth description about your article. You can open your article from here, too.


Are full articles provided by TEEAL?YES! Every citation links to its article. Articles open instantly because they are stored on a new class of small processing units. (TEEAL doesn’t use the internet.)

TIP: If you have troubling opening an article, please consult your IT department and someone can help you check your TEEAL set up.
