What is supplementary information and how can I find it?

Supplementary Information is additional data supplied by some authors to accompany articles published in the printed journal and is not provided for all articles. Please also note that supplementary information is unavailable online from some articles published prior to 2000.


Supplementary information can take various forms such as data sets, tables, additional figures or images and audio or movie files. Links to the supplementary information are located on the full text or abstract pages of the article it is associated to. It is however usually incorporated into the PDF version of articles, although accompanying audio and movie files will be available as separate downloads.

You may need a current subscription to the journal in which the Supplementary Information appears in order to access it.

If you find any supplementary information which you are unable to open or download then please Contact Us with details of the article including title and URL to allow us to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
