DeepDyve, Inc. Offers Free, 5-Minute Preview of Journal Articles
DeepDyve, Inc., an online rental service for scholarly and professional research articles, announced a new preview tool on June 5. The full text of any article on the site is now available free to users for 5 minutes each day.DeepDyve provides access to more than 8 million articles from 3,000 peer-reviewed journals. All of DeepDyve’s more than 100 publishers have agreed to make their articles available as part of the 5-minute service. The service also allows DeepDyve users to share articles with their colleagues, which will increase recommendations within professional circles. Users taking advantage of the service will be able to read and buy more articles than they normally would, says DeepDyve CEO William Park. He believes that reading an abstract is not enough to determine an article’s validity, which can sometimes lead to researchers passing over something they could have used. DeepDyve users do not have to be affiliated with an academic library to sign up at the site. There are professional subscription plans available as well as rental tokens any researcher can use to rent out one article at a time for 30 days. Source: DeepDyve, Inc.
