Librarians
GetFTR helps your patrons easily reach trusted, academic content they are entitled to read, regardless of where they start their research.
Signposts available content
GetFTR checks entitlements directly with the publisher. This enables discovery resources to signpost content to your patrons that you have made available to them via your institution’s subscriptions. It also provides links to Open Access or free content (including open and free articles in hybrid journals, even without a subscription, as checks are carried at DOI level, not issue).
Supports Research Integrity
GetFTR has recently partnered with Crossref and Retraction Watch to offer discovery resources and tools the opportunity to show retraction and errata information at the point of discovery, so your patrons can be confident they are reading the most up to date and trusted version of the content. With one click They will be able to easily view the full history of updates and retractions in timeline format.
How does it work?
GetFTR works automatically with a number of leading discovery services and tools. However, to benefit from GetFTR links and retraction and errata information on any website which uses DOIs, we are encouraging researchers to download the GetFTR Browser Extension.
GetFTR is eager to work with libraries to support their patrons in streamlining their research process and accessing reliable content more efficiently. Contact us to learn how we can help.
Next steps? Download the extension, test it out, and encourage your patrons to give it a try as well!
