How can I view my order or purchase history?

Last updated on March 06, 2025

The Purchase History page lists documents that you have purchased using your credit card during a particular month.

How

Follow these steps to view your purchase history:

  1. Select your username on the ScienceDirect navigation bar.
  2. Select ‘Purchased articles'. A list will appear with the articles purchased within the last 48 hours.
  3. To display a list of documents purchased more than 48 hours ago, select the appropriate month and year under the section ‘Purchase History’.
  4. Select ‘Return to Purchased Articles’ to return to the Purchased Articles page.

The Purchase History page displays the following information:

  • Documents: A list of documents that you have purchased using the shopping cart.
  • Document citation:Reflects current information and may differ from the citation at the time of purchase. For documents removed from ScienceDirect, citations will not display, but the document's Confirmation ID will still appear.
  • Confirmation ID: A unique identifier for a document that is automatically generated during your purchase. Credits for documents that you have purchased will appear with the Confirmation ID.
  • Date: The date of purchase.
  • Show receipt: Shows the receipt of the purchase. This is an official proof of payment you can use to get reimbursed or reclaim your taxes.
