GetFTR adds Smartlinks and Retraction and Errata to Preprint websites

GetFTR enhances its service by adding Smartlinks to full text, and retraction and errata Information to Preprint websites

Researchers using the GetFTR Browser Extension will immediately benefit from the update

GetFTR has expanded its capabilities and is now able to support preprint websites, offering researchers streamlined access to authoritative content through its GetFTR Browser Extension. This enhancement enables users on platforms such as Preprints.org, OSF.io, ArXiv, ChemRxiv, BioRxiv, and SSRN to connect directly to the Version of Record when entitled—whether through institutional subscriptions, open access, or free content.

The extension works by matching preprints to DOIs using title, date, and author details. A GetFTR indicator button will now appear next to the preprint, guiding researchers to the full-text version when available.

Additionally, the latest update brings critical retraction and errata information directly to researchers at the point of discovery. This ensures that users are not only accessing the latest research but are also informed of any updates or corrections, improving the integrity of citations and academic work.

“Providing direct access to trusted research is at the heart of what we do at GetFTR. By integrating our Smartlinks and retraction alerts into preprint websites, we are giving researchers the confidence that they are reading the most reliable version of the published research,” said Dianne Benham, Product Director at GetFTR. “We encourage researchers to download the Browser Extension and experience firsthand how it enhances discovery and accessibility.”
