HENDERSON, Nev., March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Research Solutions (NASDAQ: RSSS), a leader in AI-powered scientific research software, announces the launch of an innovative solution that allows customers to purchase legal rights to use scientific journal content within AI applications. For articles from participating publishers, AI use rights can be acquired in the same checkout flow as purchasing articles on the platform and can be purchased retroactively for articles previously purchased.

With this new solution, Research Solutions establishes itself as the definitive bridge between enterprise AI capabilities and scientific content, creating new opportunities for sustainable growth while helping shape the future of research.

"This launch represents a significant milestone in our strategic growth plan, establishing a new licensing framework that addresses critical market friction in the scientific content ecosystem," said Roy W. Olivier, CEO of Research Solutions. "By building upon our trusted relationships with leading publishers and leveraging our unique market position, we have developed a business model that satisfies both publishers and researchers in the AI era."

Scientific literature drives billions in R&D investment annually, yet organizations and research teams face significant challenges when attempting to use copyrighted content with AI tools. Research Solutions' new solution simplifies the process of acquiring the necessary rights to use journal content, ensuring a seamless and legally compliant integration as organizations accelerate their adoption of AI-powered research methodologies.

Developed based on extensive research and discussions with both publishers and customers, the solution is built around detailed business models that work for all stakeholders. By addressing the needs of copyright holders and users alike, it creates a sustainable framework for integrating AI-driven research while protecting intellectual property rights.

"The combination of generative AI and scientific data unlocks unprecedented opportunities for research. Our goal is to facilitate access to relevant literature while ensuring that publishers and authors' rights are respected including both attribution and remuneration," said Chris Bendall, VP of Product Strategy with Research Solutions.

The solution delivers multiple strategic advantages, including:

• Sustainable Business Models: Designed in collaboration with publishers and customers to ensure fair value distribution across all stakeholders. Publishers choose which models they wish to participate in.
• Legal Compliance: R&D focused organizations can mitigate risk and potential liability exposure when deploying AI across research operations.
• Increased Efficiency: The solution enables faster and more targeted searching, analysis, and summarization of journal articles to reduce research cycle times.
• Cross-Industry Application: From pharmaceuticals and engineering to business research, all industries can benefit from optimized access to scientific content.

This new solution addresses a pressing need for industry researchers who want to integrate AI into their workflow for searching, analyzing, and summarizing scientific literature.
