current<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> in their subject area, build their own research <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">projects<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and help advance knowledge in their field. Yet, when searching for research online, they often come across relevant articles only to find that they are behind paywalls. The inability to access articles published by the world\u2019s leading publishers can be disappointing and frustrating, limiting the dissemination of important findings and putting a halt on scientific progress. While there has been a move to open access over the past few decades, some high-impact articles still require subscriptions before they can be accessed. This makes it very difficult for researchers with limited resources to stay updated with literature.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Moreover, many researchers are unaware that their institutes hold journal subscriptions that allow them to access the articles they wish to read. And even if they know about this, traditional library platforms are often clunky and difficult to use, restricted to university library computers (IP-based), or not linked to platforms where researchers are discovering content. Inadequate or improper use leads to a lower ROI on the subscriptions that the library pays for, leading to a loss-loss scenario for both the library and the researchers it serves.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Solution_Partnering_with_GetFTR_to_enable_institutional_access_to_full-text_research_articles\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Solution: Partnering with GetFTR to enable institutional access to full-text research articles\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Built by a team of experts with 21+ years of experience in academia, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rdiscoverymarketing.page.link\/getftr-case-study-blog\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">R Discovery<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> quickly recognized this problem and worked to combine research discovery with full-text access.
