Shopping cart and bookmarks

Shopping cart

Articles that you wish to purchase from the article search, issue search, licensing or reporting of individual articles should first be added to your shopping cart.

With your purchase, you acquire the right to distribute the articles to the number of recipients specified in your order.

 Type of purchases:

• Digital article: Purchase of digital articles and article components
• Article rights: Licensing of articles not purchased through PMG (PMG rights purchase)
• Section 49 UrhG: Reporting of articles purchased elsewhere for remuneration in accordance with Section 49 of the German Copyright Act (§ 49 UrhG)

The list of articles shows all articles in the shopping cart, similar to the hits list. If article components (e.g. photos) are shown in blue, these will also be purchased and are included in the purchase price of the article.

You can change the status of the article components for each article (purchase or do not purchase); the price will be adjusted automatically if necessary. Clicking on the crossed-out shopping cart icon removes article components from the article if you do not wish to purchase them.

In the selection field next to the “BUY NOW[e1] ” button, select the format in which you would like to purchase the articles (applies to “digital article”). After completing your purchase, you can download the articles in this format from your purchase history. It is not possible to change to a different format after purchasing.

With the additional Press Review Manager module, you can create a press review from your purchased articles as a PDF or for reading online. To do this, click on the “Edit press review” button immediately after purchasing or on the “Press Review Manager” menu item in the main navigation menu at any time. If you have not yet activated Press Review Manager, we are happy to advise you on how to do this.
