GetFTR (Get Full Text Research) has announced that IEEE has joined its growing network of organizations utilizing GetFTR. This partnership further enhances IEEE’s ability to help their customers find and access trusted content, thereby improving their overall research experience.
By partnering with GetFTR, publishers like IEEE can significantly boost engagement and usage of their content. When researchers discover content through a tool or platform integrated with GetFTR — whether directly or via the GetFTR Browser Extension — they will see a GetFTR indicator signaling that the content is available to them. This includes subscription, open access or free content. This streamlined access to trusted full text plays an important role in improving the researcher journey.
IEEE, the world’s largest organization of technical professionals, serves nearly half a million members globally and is responsible for publishing around a third of the world’s technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science, and electronics. All IEEE content is delivered via the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Speaking about the decision to join GetFTR, Casey Schwartz, Director, IEEE Xplore at IEEE said: “Our mission is to empower the global community of technical professionals by providing them with seamless access to the highest quality content. Joining GetFTR enhances our ability to support researchers in their vital work by ensuring they can easily and quickly access the trusted resources they need. This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to simplifying the research process and advancing technology for the benefit of humanity”.
Dianne Benham, Product Director at GetFTR welcomed IEEE and said “this demonstrates our commitment to continuously improve the research experience. As more publishers join GetFTR, the entire research community benefits from easier and faster access to the critical, trusted content they rely on. We’re excited to see the positive impact this growing network will have on researchers worldwide,”
