How does it work?

Get Full Text Research (GetFTR) is a free-to-use solution for academic discovery services and scholarly collaboration networks that provides researchers with faster access to the published research they need, whether subscription or open access.

The service provides real time, high quality entitlement checks and displays the GetFTR indicator on the search results, article page or references so that researchers can easily determine which content their institution has made available to them. By clicking the GetFTR link, the researchers can rapidly access research from participating publisher websites. Libraries and researchers do not need to opt-in, register, or download any new software, GetFTR links are automatically displayed in the resources they use.

GetFTR provides:

An API where entitlements from all participating publishers can be checked by the discovery resource
Links to full text content
A simple, consistent user experience for discovery services to use on their sites
Links returned for open access, free and entitled subscription content, supporting ever greater dissemination of research to a global community

The GetFTR service builds on trusted technology, using existing industry standards such as DOIs and SAML based federated authentication.

Behind the scenes, the GetFTR API allows discovery tools to check user’s institutional entitlements in real time against publisher’s authoritative records – ensuring high quality and accurate information at the level of individual articles. Publishers provide discovery services with Smart links, which support both federated authentication and IP authentication.

There are no costs for discovery resources, platform providers and scholarly collaboration networks to integrate with GetFTR.
