In December 2019, Get Full Text Research (GetFTR) was announced as a new, free-to-use solution that enables faster access for researchers to the published journal articles they need. Seamless, off-campus access to scholarly content is now more important than ever, and the scholarly platforms Dimensions, Figshare, Symplectic, ReadCube Papers, and Mendeley have started a pilot of the GetFTR service. Even more discovery services are working on integrating GetFTR. Those updates will be announced in the coming weeks.
As part of the pilot, some researchers using Dimensions, Figshare, Symplectic, and Mendeley will begin to see a ‘GetFTR article’ link next to subscription-based articles, which will take them directly to the full-text article if they have access through their institutional affiliation. Entitlements from five publishers, including the American Chemical Society, are included in this initial pilot.
