For Readers

Reading Articles

  • Access

RIHA Journal is an Open Access Journal. All articles published in RIHA Journal are available free of charge.

New articles are published one by one and can be subscribed to as RSS feeds. Please find the RSS link at the top of the page.

Long-term archiving is provided by the German National Library (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek). Each article has its own URN (to be found in the metadata) warranting the article's persistent identifiability and accessibility in the web.

For more information on URNs, what they are and how they work, please see the website of the German National Library (English/German). The German National Library also offers a URN resolving service (in German).

  • Images

Most RIHA Journal articles come along with a separate image folder called "Gallery." If given, you will find a link to the Gallery at the top of the article, next to the links to the PDF and the article's metadata. In addition, images in the text are directly linked to that Gallery.

Within the Gallery, the images can be viewed and zoomed separately.

Please note that for license and copyright reasons, some images may not be displayed in the Gallery and cannot be zoomed.

  • Web Browsers

We recommend using the web browsers Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Please note, however, that unfortunately with some web browsers, esp. Internet Explorer or Opera, some hyperlinks in the articles' Tables of Contents may not work properly, and that with Firefox, images sometimes may look fuzzy.

These problems are due to the browsers, and do not indicate programming or formatting mistakes on the part of RIHA Journal.
