moz-do-not-send="true">Scilit</a><span> </span>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 with<span> </span><a

the<span> </span><a href="https://core.ac.uk/"
data-mce-href="https://core.ac.uk/">CORE</a><span> </span>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.</p>
