We are not ScienceDirect subscribers and I find that I cannot get free
access to any full text FEBS Letters issues via the ScienceDirect site,
though full text is freely available back to 1997 on FEBS own site. It seems
that the full backfiles are therefore 'free' only to ScienceDirect
customers. Whether this is what FEBS intended, I do not know!
Best wishes,
Liz
