[GOAL] Scilit—Direct Access to Full-Text Articles

[Martyn Rittman]

Dear All,

An announcement from MDPI about a new feature on the Scilit database:

We are pleased to announce that theScilit 
<https://www.scilit.net/?utm_source=goal&utm_campaign=free-pdf&utm_medium=email&utm_content=home>search 
engine now provides direct access to full text versions of articles. 
Based on article-level licensing information, we already identify papers 
that are open access, and we have now taken this one step further by 
providing access to full-text versions of articles. To realise this, we 
have cooperated withUnpaywall <http://unpaywall.org/>and theCORE 
<https://core.ac.uk/>repository. So far, around 20 million of Scilit’s 
110 million research articles have free versions available and we plan 
to increase this number over the coming months.

Other features of Scilit include filtering search results by preprint or 
open access content, and links to Google Scholar records of papers.

We expect this new feature to be a valuable addition to users of Scilit, 
and help to promote open access and open science. Scilit will remain 
free to access.

Publishers of research articles are invited to create a Scilit account 
to verify and upload their own data. They can also indicate whether 
their content is open access and provide links to full-text versions 
where possible.
