COVID-19 NEWS: ReadCube Implements COVID-19 Research Pass Program for Free Content Access
ReadCube introduced the COVID-19 Research Pass (CRP) program “to facilitate access to literature related to COVID-19 research.” It “provides direct access to over 26 million articles and is available to anyone studying or writing about COVID-19” after they complete the application process.Publishers involved in the program include Springer Nature and Wiley. “Rather than pre-filtering access to specific articles related to COVID-19, the CRP allows researchers to access any article from participating publishers they may need while studying COVID-19, including both open access and content behind paywalls. The ability to access related and prior work can be particularly helpful to researchers studying ways of improving therapies, clinical, and public health outcomes. For example, topics such as ventilators or respiratory syndromes often remain behind paywalls. Additionally, the program can support COVID-19 researchers who are now working remotely and require remote access to literature.” For more information, read the blog post.
