Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences joins GetFTR
The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has joined the growing Get Full Text Research (GetFTR) network, extending access to its research content across a range of scholarly discovery tools and platforms.
The move will enable researchers to more easily discover and access full-text scholarly content wherever they encounter PNAS – one of the world’s most cited multidisciplinary journals – articles online.
Through the integration, researchers using participating services such as Web of Science and Scopus will be able to identify whether they have access to PNAS content via subscription, open access or freely available routes. The functionality also extends to AI assistants, search engines, discovery services, knowledge platforms and the wider web through the GetFTR Browser Extension.
GetFTR indicators are designed to direct users to the version of record, helping researchers avoid access dead ends and reducing friction in the discovery process.
As part of the implementation, PNAS has also embedded GetFTR links within article reference lists, allowing readers to quickly determine whether cited articles are available to them.
Published by the National Academy of Sciences, PNAS publishes more than 3,500 research papers annually across the biological, physical and social sciences. The journal serves a global audience of researchers, policymakers, clinicians and interdisciplinary research communities.
Diane Sullenberger, publisher of PNAS, said: “At PNAS, our mission is to advance science by disseminating high-quality research as broadly and efficiently as possible. Partnering with GetFTR helps researchers quickly find the authoritative versions of record they are entitled to access, wherever they encounter our content online. We’re pleased to collaborate on improving the efficiency of researcher access while maintaining rights management and publisher integrity.”
Heather Staines, head of business development at GetFTR, welcomed the addition of PNAS to the initiative: “We are thrilled to have PNAS join the GetFTR community. Their reputation for scientific excellence makes this an important milestone in our work to support fast access to trusted scholarly content. As more high-impact publishers adopt GetFTR, researchers benefit from a smoother path to the articles they rely on to drive discovery and innovation.”
