Discovery Resources

GetFTR adds value to discovery resources, research tools, and scholarly collaboration networks by providing them with the necessary information to signpost their users to the content they are entitled to read (subscription, OA or free) by using the GetFTR Indicator  .  

GetFTR provides smart links that can be embedded in search results, abstract pages, saved content, or anywhere where a DOI is displayed. When the GetFTR link is clicked, your user is taken either directly to the full text (or will go via their institution sign-in screen where necessary). 

GetFTR also provides Retraction and Errata information for you to display, allowing your users to view integrity issues at the point of discovery, and providing them with a history of all updates to the document This information is provided by Crossref and Retraction Watch.
