And we have added the market's best acquisition filtering for Open Access research papers."
The latest features made available in the Summer 2016 Version Release include:
New Third-Party Integrations
A new integration with PubMed NCBI's user interface makes it possible to send orders for one or more articles using the "Send To Order" option from any PubMed search results page. Moreover, Reprints Desk's paid add-on Article Galaxy Widget now integrates with Elsevier ScienceDirect and EBSCO Discovery Service, allowing users to extract content from both websites for simplified viewing and a shopping cart-like order experience. Finally, new web APIs let users see important Article Galaxy updates, such as availability of article rentals, publisher pay-per-view (PPV) tokens, indication of article duplicates as well as account-specific pricing, directly in preferred third-party discovery tools.
Open Access Journal Filtering
Reprints Desk has launched the world's largest curated list of Open Access journals, integrated within Article Galaxy. The service includes methodologies to honor granular Creative Commons license terms commonly used by Open Access journals (such as CC-BY-NC). The list is utilized in lowest cost acquisition filtering for document delivery requests of Open Access research papers, including from hybrid OA titles, ensuring customers will always get the most cost-efficient version of Open Access documents in accordance with commercial Open Access licensing terms.
Article Galaxy Enhancements
Apart from multiple new publisher sourcing agreements (see full release notes here), users can now opt for a paid service to automatically replace an ePub or "pre-print" version of a journal article with the final published Version of Record. A new service for article re-use analysis offers customers the option to determine their actual rate of re-use depending on the intended use.
