Press Release: The Company of Biologists Joins GetFTR To Support Discovery and Access to Trusted Biological Research

GetFTR (Get Full Text Research) is pleased to announce that The Company of Biologists has joined its growing network of publishers working to connect research discovery directly to trusted full text.

Through this partnership, The Company of Biologists’ content will be more easily discoverable and accessible across an expanding network of research and discovery tools, including those directly integrated with GetFTR, such as Scopus, Scite, Web of Science and CAS Biofinder, and across the whole web via the GetFTR Browser Extension. 

When researchers encounter relevant content, GetFTR indicators clearly signal access to the version of record, whether through subscription, open access, or free content, helping to reduce friction and eliminate dead ends in the research journey.

The Company of Biologists is a not-for-profit publisher dedicated to supporting and inspiring the biological research community. Run by practising scientists, it publishes leading peer-reviewed journals, organises scientific meetings, provides travel grants for early-career researchers, and supports research societies. Its mission is to profit science, not shareholders.

Kirsty McCormack, Technical Operations Director at The Company of Biologists said 

At The Company of Biologists, everything we do is to serve the scientific community. Joining GetFTR is a natural extension of that mission. By making it easier for researchers to discover and access the biological literature they need, we can help streamline the research process and ensure our content reaches the scientists who rely on it. This partnership reflects our belief that efficient access to trusted science is essential to advancing biology.

Dianne Benham, Product Director at GetFTR, added:

“We’re pleased to welcome The Company of Biologists to GetFTR. Their strong commitment to serving the research community aligns closely with our mission to connect discovery directly to trusted full text. As adoption grows, publishers and researchers benefit from increased reach, stronger engagement, and more efficient pathways to full text.”

The Company of Biologists hosts their journal content on the Silverchair Platform and joins the growing number of publishing partners who have added the service since Silverchair joined GetFTR in 2021.
