GetFTR Enables CABI Digital Library Users to See Access Rights to Full-Text Resources
Researchers using CABI Digital Library can now more easily determine their access rights to full-text content, thanks to the recent integration with the Get Full Text Research (GetFTR) service.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. See Immediately If You Have Access to the Full Text Those conducting a search on CABI Digital Library can now see the GetFTR indicator on the search results page against relevant records and on the abstract record pages. This enables users to see immediately if they have access to the full text through their institutional licenses and can follow the smart links to rapidly get access. Lieke Boerefijn-van Schaaijk, Platform Manager at CABI, said, “Integrating the CABI Digital Library further with GetFTR is a valuable step forward for our users. Researchers can now instantly see if they have full-text access through their institution and follow smart links to get to the content quickly. “This streamlines the discovery process, saves valuable time, and helps ensure that users are working with the most up-to-date and trusted sources.” Enhancement Helps Researchers Spend Less Time Navigating Access Barriers 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 visibility to open access content in hybrid journals even when the institution does not subscribe to the journal as entitlement checks are carried out at the DOI not the issue level. Boerefijn-van Schaaijk added, “This latest enhancement helps researchers spend less time navigating access barriers and more time engaging with relevant content. This is part of CABI’s continuous efforts to improve search features and increase the value of our bibliographic databases.” Wayne Coles Senior PR Manager CABI Nosworthy Way Wallingford Oxfordshire OX10 8DE United Kingdom Telephone: +44 (0)1491 829395 Email: w.coles@cabi.org View us at cabi.org CABI improves people’s lives worldwide by providing information and applying scientific expertise to solve problems in agriculture and the environment.
