Once your request is approved, the articles will typically be sent to the email address you used when making the request or signing into the article request platform (e.g., ResearchGate, Academia.edu, or an institutional repository). You will either:

• Receive a direct download link in the email,
• Or get a notification to access the full-text article from your account dashboard on the respective platform.

If the request was made through your university library's interlibrary loan (ILL) or document delivery service (DDS), the article may be sent via:

• A secure email link (e.g., from DELNET, ShodhSindhu, etc.), or
• Uploaded to your library portal account.

Be sure to check:

• Your Inbox and Spam/Junk folders
• The platform’s notifications or messages section

Let me know if you need a sample response or how to follow up if you haven’t received the article.

John Crandall ,When you request access to restricted research articles, the publisher or repository usually sends a confirmation after approving your request. Complete articles are then given directly to your registered email address or are provided through your institutional account. If you are affiliated to a university or research center, it is usually provided access through the institution's digital library portal. In some cases, the publisher may provide an individual download link that ends after a certain time. You may also receive notification within the platform where you requested, so that you can be motivated to log in and rebuild files. Finally, the delivery method depends on the access system in use, but emails and institutional portals are the most common channels.
