Publishing houses are partnering on ScienceDirect for efficient research discovery
As a leading platform, ScienceDirect empowers researchers by expanding the reach of critical publications and connecting them to trusted, relevant answers.
“The literature review is a very time-intensive process. Searching multiple platforms to stay up to date can become overwhelming.”

Since 2022, ScienceDirect has collaborated with scholarly publishers to syndicate peer-reviewed content, streamlining access to relevant academic papers.
Researchers can now directly explore an expanding range of journals from various publishers on ScienceDirect, the premier research discovery platform.
"It is more important than ever for scholarly publishers to accelerate research discovery, but to also collaborate on a sustainable platform that promotes, protects and preserves robust, verified and trustworthy knowledge.”

We invite more publishers, including learned societies & associations and university presses to join us.
We strive to ensure that partners will benefit from the increased usage and global discoverability of the research they publish, on a trusted and reliable platform.
From a technical perspective, there is an opportunity to use a shared infrastructure via GetFTR which checks for entitlements. This way researchers can seamlessly connect with relevant articles on ScienceDirect from a variety of publishers. However, GetFTR functionality is not mandatory.
We hope that by collaborating with a growing number of publishers and societies, we learn together how to improve the research ecosystem and, as publishers, promote the shared value of safeguarding trust in science.
