Research Solutions, Inc., a pioneer in providing cloud-based workflow solutions for R&D-driven organisations, and its wholly owned subsidiary Reprints Desk, have announced a series of new COVID-19 initiatives, including the launch of the COVID-19 Research Viewer Gadget, the latest addition to the Article Galaxy platform. The Company’s new initiatives are aimed at simplifying scientific literature discovery and acquisition during the COVID-19 crisis. For a summary of these ongoing COVID-19 initiatives, users may visit info.reprintsdesk.com/coronavirus.
The COVID-19 Research Viewer Gadget provides an up-to-date listing of COVID-19 scientific literature, across all publishers, most of which have committed to removing paywalls from COVID-19 articles. Built using PubMed as the data source, the Gadget displays thousands of COVID-19 journal articles at a glance and features an interactive map with the current number of confirmed cases and mortality statistics across the globe. Other functions include: Most Requested COVID-19 Articles tab which filters results based on most popular articles; Most Recent COVID-19 Articles tab which filters results by most recent publication date; and Publisher Resources tab which provides a list of COVID-19 portals developed by publishers. Research Solutions is working on further enhancements to the COVID-19 Research Viewer Gadget. The Gadget is available free of charge to customers, regardless of subscription level. In addition, anyone interested in COVID-related research can view the Gadget’spublicly available interactive website at coronarpd.firebaseapp.com.
To ensure customers do not pay for any articles for which paywalls have been removed, Research Solutions will run a monthly analysis of its billing data and remove any copyright charges for papers that publishers have made available for free. In cases where a customer believes they were mistakenly charged for COVID-19 articles, Research Solutions offers an open refund policy for COVID-19 articles, promising to reverse the charges for any copyright fees confirmed to have been billed in error.
A fully-virtual company, Research Solutions has been able to operate without interruption during the recent stay-at-home policies that have been implemented around the world. Based on years of experience with the systems, tools, security, processes, and procedures needed to efficiently operate in a virtual environment, the Company is now extending itself as a resource for its customers, partners, and suppliers looking for advice and ideas on how to best optimise their remote operations amidst this challenging situation.
