Issues with some Quintessence Publishing journals when using LibKey or BrowZine for articles prior to 2023

UPDATE: August 21, 2025: You may still encounter some issues when accessing articles published prior to 2023 for these three journals. You may be brought to a search result that will lead you to the article, but sometimes this solution does not work as expected. If you need any help getting articles from these or any other journals, contact us.

August 20, 2025: We are aware of an issue affecting linking to International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants, International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, and International Journal of Prosthodontics when using links from the Library’s link resolver, LibKey Nomad, and BrowZine. This issue affects articles published prior to 2023.

If you try to get to an article using the link resolver, LibKey Nomad, or BrowZine, you will be brought to the main page for Quintessence Publishing or may see a German error page. We have reached out to those who manage LibKey and BrowZine and hope to hear from them soon.

In the meantime, you can use the following links to access the journals directly, after logging in using your LSUHSC-NO email address and current password if prompted to do so:

LibKey retracted article alerts expanded

July 9, 2025: If you use Library databases to get articles or have installed the LibKey Nomad browser extension to make getting those articles very easy, you already know how LibKey helps to identify retracted articles. Check out our post from December 2021 for more information about the retracted articles alerts.

LibKey now brings those retracted article alerts to warn you of papers that cite retracted works in the article you’re linking to:

You can still continue to the original article by clicking “Download PDF” or “Article Link.” If you click on the links next to the retracted citations, you will see the summary of why that article was retracted.

These same alerts will display if you choose to use the LibKey.io product to look up articles using DOIs or PMIDs. You can quickly get to articles we have access to by going to https://libkey.io/libraries/935.

If you need help with this or any other Library products, contact us.
