Full citations of papers are followed by strings such as

PMID:19474203 PMCID:PMC2728864
The "PMID" links to the PubMed page of the article. The ":" that immediately follows links to UNC's own PubMed library proxy, which if you are at UNC typically includes full text access. The PubMed identifier "19474203" is given as plain text, for ease of copying. The "PMCID" links to the article at the PubMedCentral website, which houses free copies of all papers that have been funded by NIH and are more than a year old. The PubMedCentral number "PMC2728864" is given as plain text, again, for ease of copying. If you cannot access a paper using one of these methods, you can request the pdf from me.
