Automatic Download Features of Reference Management Tools and Browser Preloading Functions

Recently, there have been cases of unintentional mass downloading/mass access caused by the automatic download function of literature management software/plug-ins or the link preview function of web browsers.

These functions repeatedly access links within a page in the background. As a result, the user may be unaware that he or she is causing a mass download/access. Please do not use these functions as they may induce a malfunction of the e-journal/database authentication system.

For information about settings in each literature management software and web browser,
