  1. I would like to know how faculty and students would get access to the full text of research articles that they found of interest. Or do the RR citations lead you to paywalls that require you to pay for access to the articles of interest. I suspect that most TTP readers can get access to full-text from their campus library or use similar tools (e.g., Web of Science or Scopus) for their research.

    1. We are an Alma/Primo VE campus, and I have started to instruct faculty and students to search our catalog using an article’s DOI. Then it’s a simple cut-and-paste process.

      I wonder if Research Rabbit will incorporate any kind of OpenURL linking capabilities? That would be even better.

  2. Hi Steven:

    Yes, if the full text is not available online, then the student will need to copy and paste the citation into their own institution’s library page to get to it.
