Construct a WAYFless URL for Nature.com

If you would like to avoid having to use the Nature WAYF page, it is also possible to link directly to articles on Nature.com by constructing a WAYFless URL. A logged in user will be taken directly to the article. A user that is not logged in will be prompted to login and will then be taken to the article.


This will work if the target URL is on Nature.com.


Examples: 


- This would work: targetUrl=https://www.nature.com/openurl?issn=0007-0610&issue=3&volume=231&spage=145&genre=article


- This would not work: targetUrl=https://doi.org/10.1038/s41415-021-3332-1?nosfx=y


WAYFless URLs can be created using the information contained in Nature Portfolio page.

Please ensure that the instructions are followed carefully - if the entityID and article link are not encoded then the link may not work.
