ReadCube: What is ReadCube?

• ReadCube is a reference management system intended to help researchers find and manage literature, however, it is also being used by libraries to provide quicker access to certain journals at a price less than that currently being paid for interlibrary loan or pay-for-view.

• The journals available through ReadCube are those published by Nature, click the link below to see a list of all Nature journals. Note that Nature titles currently subscribed to by the library will not be included in ReadCube, those journals will continue to be accessed as usual. Check the box to the right to see current Nature journal subscriptions.

• When using Readcube, you have permanent Cloud Access to an article, which means that you can view the PDF on your computer and print the article, but you will not be able to download the article. .

• ReadCube can be accessed on or off campus, however, off-campus use will require accessing the journal through the Libraries' catalog or by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Click the appropriate tab at the top to see more information about use on or off-campus

• You should use your Auburn email (ending in auburn.edu) to create your ReadCube account.

AU Libraries has subscriptions to the following titles. You can access them though the Libraries' catalog like any other subscribed title.
