Having set up a journal alert in Read, you will start receiving notifications every time a new issue of the journal is published. A Read notification looks like this:
Tap the notification, and My Followed Journals will open in the Read app. Tap the journal whose new issue you wish to view.
Tap an article in the journal.
The article will open. After automatically (or manually) authenticating, tap VIEW AS PDF.
The PDF version of the article will open on your device.
