Subscription to RNA Biology

23rd January, 2012 ~ 1 answer

Hi!
I was wondering - while the subscription page for RNA biology implies that we have access to the latest content, I am unable to download article pdfs from the latest issue. For example this page asks me to pay for the pdf, even though I am using a UQ based computer and logged into the library website.

Could you please fix this so we can access RNA biology properly?
Thank you in advance,
An RHD student working in an RNA lab :)
