Article Resolver
Like a link resolver, our Article Resolver (formerly known as Mighty Linkout Machine) helps organizations to avoid costs by driving users to content that is accessible via subscriptions and Open Access content.
We studied link resolvers closely and identified key areas for improvement when we designed our Article Resolver solution to improve the user experience and lower total cost of ownership, whether our customers used the solution alone or as a back-up to their existing link resolver.

Instant PDF display
We’ve removed the need for users to check subscription access prior to ordering and instantly doing that check for them. When we have a match, we flip the PDF open instantly on users’ screens. This can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in productivity costs for researchers or engineers, and is a big improvement over traditional link resolver experiences where users may be dropped off at a publisher homepage, journal homepage, table of contents page, or abstract page. |

100% article-level links
Different strokes for different folks – not all users have online access when they need an article or maybe they’d rather email (at no additional cost) a batch of orders rather than enter them into an order form one-by-one. Unlike some alternatives, our Article Resolver solution can ensure that these orders are matched to subscription content so unnecessary document delivery orders can be avoided. Reprints Desk customers have saved up to 33% on overall document delivery costs because of Article Resolver. |

No annual platform fees
With Article Resolver, you don’t have to spend up front in order to save and we don’t charge any recurring annual maintenance fees. You simply pay a small per dollar transaction fee for each Article Resolver request that we process. This small fee results in BIG savings for your organization since you can avoid paying duplicate copyright royalty fees, which can add up in a hurry. |

Checks against holdings
Getting the most from Article Resolver requires having the most up-to-date list of online journal subscriptions and publisher bundles, as well as Open Access content. With Article Resolver, we use your current holdings list to that the most current information when checking for matches for user literature requests. |
