I thought that I will start a thread with links to free journal articles on neonatology.

Everyone is invited to add their links also.

You could give the title of the article, authors, name of journal, publication date, a short abstract if needed and then the link for download

This has to be one review which I repeatedly read because it reminds me of the basics in NICU which we sometimes tend to overlook. It is a great read and a must have in your NICU Library.

... also could not access the article from Journal of perinatology.Any idea how to go about it?

You are right...the article in the journal of perinatology concerning concentratons of volatile substances is no longer freely available. It seems that it was only freely available for one month after publication. Now onwards I will not link to an article from journal of perinatology!

T...How do you place the link. ...

If you are asking about placing hyperlinked text in the posts; then it is very simple. First copy the URL of the webpage you want people to be redirected when they click on your LINK. To copy in Windows use Ctrl + C. Then in your post highlight the text which you want to hyperlinked; for example "LINK" and then click on the icon for hypertext linking ( it is the one with the globe with an infinity sign below it)...then paste your URL...In windows pres Ctrl + V. Thats it....hope you find this helpful.
