You can search for the DOI numbers using the search module of CrossRef. For example, placement of the following citation [Manuel Alvarez-Dolado. Cell Fusion: biological perspectives and potential for regenerative medicine. Frontiers in Bioscience 12, 1-12, January 1, 2007] will retrieve the respective DOI number as follows
Manuel Alvarez-Dolado. Cell Fusion: biological perspectives and potential for regenerative medicine. Frontiers in Bioscience 12, 1-12, January 1, 2007

Electronic Reprint (PDF document)
- About PDF document
You can view the manuscripts presented in the "Frontiers in Bioscience" prepared as a portable document format (PDF). Adobe's PDF files are formatted for viewing and printing manuscripts. PDF files are cross platform compatible and can be viewed or printed in Windows, Macs and Unix machines. PDF documents offer distinct advantages over the standard HTML documents when viewed or printed. Documents created as PDF can either be viewed on-line, or downloaded to a local hard drive without having to maintain an active Web connection. The PDF document format more closely resembles the format of a book, with actual page separations, rich magazine-style page layout, bookmarking capability and zoom features.
Accessing a PDF document
-
PDF documents published in the Frontiers in Bioscience are available for preview as single articles or by subscription. Before accessing documents, please inquire from your institution the type of subscription that was obtained. If you wish to order a reprint or subscribe, please visit " Reprint and Subscription Page". If you are trying to purchase a single article, you may directly proceed to the reprint access page.
Opening a PDF document
- Choose one of the following options in the left pane for loading the PDF file into your browser or saving it to your drive.
-
Type I PDF files: These PDF files are low resolution for rapid access and open with a password.
-
Type II PDF files. These are high resolution files for those with high speed access to Internet. These files open with IP address authentication. Optional access by username and password are also available and these are assigned during registration process. Please note that with the password assigned during registration process only type II and not type I PDF files may be opened.
Trouble opening a PDF document
To access, the PDF files, you should first subscribe and register. If you have not yet subscribed to FBS, please subscribe by visiting the subscription page and register by visting the registration page.
You may order PDF documents by visiting the reprint/subscription page.
-
Adobe Acrobat Reader should be installed on your machine before the PDF files can be viewed. PDF Acrobat reader can be installed, free of charge, from the Adobe WebSite.
PDFs are designed to be read on screen or printed.
Trouble saving a PDF document
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not allow Saving the document. You must instead save the PDF from the Frontiers in Bioscience Online page downloaded to your browser.
PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option "Save Target As..." (in Explorer) or "Save Link As..." (in Netscape).
Mac users:
Hold the mouse button down on the link to get the same options.
Trouble printing a PDF document
To be able to view the document, you must use at least the version 4.0 or later of the Adobe Acrobat Reader software. See Help with Printing for installation instructions.
Try printing one page at a time.
Try printing with the 'Print as Image' option selected.
Try printing to a printer with more memory.
(NOTE for Macintosh users: A number of users have reported problems printing PDFs
with the LaserWriter Driver version 8.4. We suggest using an earlier or later version.)
Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the
fly." This requires that you configure your browser to "Save" rather than
"Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf," and can usually
be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
Are you getting Postscript errors on your Mac?
A frequent cause is a lack of communication of postscript commands between
your computer and your printer. Postscript communication on a Mac is handled
by the Control Panel called ~ATM. To see if you have installed
~ATM, go to the System Folder / Control Panels
folder and look for ~ATM. If the control panel is not present
you will need to install it. If the ~ATM is installed,
check to make sure that you are using the most recent version, v4.0 or
higher. You can check the version number by selecting the ~ATM
icon and choosing Get info... from the File menu.
If you do not have ~ATM installed or need to upgrade to the
latest version, you can get this software from the
Acrobat web site.
If you recently downloaded Acrobat, you may already
have this Control Panel on your computer and just need to install it. When
you download Acrobat, ~ATM comes along in a folder called
Fonts and will be located in the Acrobat folder. Drag the
~ATM icon onto your System Folder to install it.
Are some lines on each page getting cut off?
Are you running MacOS version 8? The default paper size is "Letter Small." Change this setting
to "US Letter" in File/Page Setup and you should be able to print full pages.
