Taylor & Francis eBooks Platform Integrates with GetFTR

January 9, 2025

GetFTR and Taylor & Francis are pleased to announce that Taylor & Francis eBooks are now accessible via GetFTR. Whilst many publishers working with GetFTR already include eBook content in their entitlement checks, Taylor & Francis is the first to implement GetFTR entitlement checking specifically for books hosted on a separate platform.

GetFTR (Get Full Text Research) provides researchers with faster access to the published research they need through real time, high quality entitlement checks. The GetFTR indicator on search results tells researchers which content their institution has made available to them and takes them directly to that research on participating publisher websites.

Taylor & Francis eBooks and journals are hosted on independent dedicated sites but registered under the same Crossref account, so this new development has required additional DOI-based logic to distinguish between content types. Now when researchers discover Taylor & Francis content through GetFTR, entitlement requests for journal articles are routed to the journals site, Taylor & Francis Online, while requests for eBooks are directed to the Taylor & Francis eBooks platform. This is the first time GetFTR has developed such a solution, paving the way for similar integrations in the future.

Dianne Benham, Product Director, GetFTR emphasized the importance of a comprehensive approach to content discovery and access: “We encourage publishers to respond to entitlement requests for all their content types, regardless of where the content is hosted. GetFTR is committed to ensuring their researchers are able to access content regardless of where it is hosted.”

Mark Heaver, Senior Product Manager at Taylor & Francis, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration: “As a founding publisher of GetFTR, Taylor & Francis is dedicated to advancing functionalities that meet researchers’ evolving needs. This integration is a significant step forward ensuring that researchers accessing Taylor & Francis content are provided with streamlined access to the correct platform and content.”

This development highlights GetFTR’s commitment to enabling researchers to access the resources they need more efficiently, regardless of content type or platform location.
