AnthroSource & Google Scholar: Linking issues

By irobb on May 5, 2009

From Google Scholar (or from our own Citation eLinker, for that matter), trying to resolve to the article level via our button results in being dropped at a rather bare AnthroSource page… a journal cover but no volumes to even click on.
