ProQuest Flow Now Free for Individuals
ProQuest launched a free version of Flow, its cloud-based document management platform. Now individual researchers may access Flow for free to manage their research and share citation data, regardless of whether their institutions subscribe to Flow.Flow users can discover and manage content; store, share, and organize documents; and use Flow for Word to write papers and generate citations. Flow imports references and annotations, full-text articles, and reference metadata into its platform to create a single, web-based access point for research materials. Users may annotate and review articles with up to 10 people for free. Flow also has features for libraries: It gathers usage statistics so librarians can track what their patrons are researching and what resources they’re using. “Broadening access to Flow via free individual accounts is expected to yield richer analytics and content usage data,” according to the press release. Library subscribers receive 10GB of storage, and individual users get 2GB with the free account. Source: ProQuest
