GetFTR Collaboration

GetFTR is a publisher-led community initiative that streamlines the researcher journey by checking permissions, directly with the publisher, at the point of discovery and that facilitates access directly to the article or book chapter the researcher wants to read. Links are returned for open access, free and entitled subscription content, supporting ever greater dissemination of research to a global community. STM supports this work through STM Solutions.
