Notice that citation #10, above, has the OVID FULL TEXT option, indicating that it is one of the 115 full text journal titles to which we subcribe via OVID.

OVID Full Text defaults to an SGML display format, but PDF formats are also available for many journals.

Important Note About Limiting to Full Text: Using the Full Text LIMIT option restricts retrieval to the 115 core, clinical, biomedical journals that are available in the OVID Full Text collection.

The Full Text LIMIT option does NOT identify the 1000 + full text titles that are held in other full text collections.
