If online archives are available for a paper, their beginning date or month is given; any issue within the archive period should be retrievable, in theory. In several cases an archive is denoted as searchable, meaning an internal search engine allows searching by keyword across the entire archive (or in some cases only one year at a time) to retrieve matching articles. In many cases the materials in these archives will not be retrieved by searching external search engines, including Google.
