New Reprints Desk Widget Acts as Research Aid
Reprints Desk announced the release of its Article Galaxy Widget, a free, browser-based tool that helps researchers find lowest-cost access to full-text STM articles indexed by 50-plus sources such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Web of Science, and Scopus.All Reprints Desk customers in research-intensive industries can now use the widget while they are viewing any website referencing published journal articles. The widget standardizes the search and presentation of these articles and sources content from existing journal subscriptions, open access options, tokens, past single-article document purchases, or time-limited rentals. It then filters the results by source type, shows pricing, and identifies related articles—all without leaving the user’s discovery environment. “[N]avigating multiple full-text sources and various paywalls is a time-consuming, cumbersome and often frustrating process for researchers, especially when dealing with multiple citations,” says Todd Everett, Reprints Desk’s director of emerging technology. “Our Article Galaxy Widget represents a breakthrough technology that removes these difficulties. … By providing a single, standardized method for all content purchases, the widget also generates cost savings by identifying when it is more economical to subscribe to a journal or platform rather than rely upon single document downloads.” Source: Reprints Desk
