Important Update on Taylor & Francis Content Access

In accordance with a new University of California-wide agreement with Taylor & Francis, content access for UC affiliates, including those at UCR, has changed effective August 15, 2024. 

As August 15, access to current-year content (2024) will be limited to journals included in this list.

These selected titles account for approximately 90% of recent content usage. Therefore, we anticipate minimal impact on end users. Once the agreement is finalized, Taylor & Francis will likely make adjustments to pre-2024 content access.

What Does This Mean for You?

The vast majority of Taylor & Francis content remains available, including most articles published before 2024 and, as mentioned above, approximately 90% of 2024 content. The Get it at UC link will work as usual. However, some 2024- articles in Taylor & Francis journals will not be directly available to UC affiliates via Taylor & Francis Online.

How to Access Articles No Longer Available After August 15, 2024

If you need access to Taylor & Francis articles that are no longer available after August 15, you can:

  • Use Open Access Tools: Tools such as LibKey Nomad, Google Scholar, Unpaywall, and Open Access Button can help you quickly find open access copies, which are free to read online when available. LibKey Nomad will also route you to UC Library Search for requests.
  • Request via UC Library Search: You can request articles through UC Library Search using the request through interlibrary loan option. For urgent requests, please use the comment field to ask for expedited delivery.
  • Contact the Author: Consider emailing the corresponding author to request a copy directly.

We are also working towards some additional rapid access options and will update you once those options are available.
