Goodbye old ARE! Hello ARE+

During this time ARE+ has coexisted with the previous version, ARE, which many users still use, but at the end of January ARE will be definitively disabled; and users who still use it will no longer be able to access the Digital Library.

It is urgent that you switch to the new ARE+ version. How can you detect if you are using the old version of ARE?

• Links to are.uab.cat: If the links to access the editorial platforms include this particle, you are using the old version of ARE. Examples:
  • https://www-sciencedirect-com.are.uab.cat/
  • https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.are.uab.cat/
  • https://link-springer-com.are.uab.cat/
• Browser favourites: Check the links saved in ‘Favourites’ and make sure they do not contain the are.uab.cat particle.
• Bibliography: Make sure that the bibliography you provide to #students and classmates does not contain links to are.uab.cat.
• Browser configuration: Check the configuration of the browser you use and make sure that it is not configured to add are.uab.cat to the links.
