Description

Open Access discovery tools aim to locate freely available copies of research papers which might be behind the paywall on a publisher's website. Our study, which was funded by Jisc, provides the first large scale quantitative performance comparison of four OA Discovery tools: Unpaywall, OA Button, CORE OA Discovery and Kopernio on a randomly selected sample of 100k DOIs from CrossRef.
