Solution Enables Corporate Researchers To Safely Use Generative AI Tools With Journal Articles Through Integrated Rights Management And Publisher Partnerships
The AI Rights add-on transforms Research Solutions' Article Galaxy platform into a comprehensive solution for AI rights verification and acquisition, providing instant clarity on usage permissions and seamless access to acquire necessary rights. With direct partnerships with major publishers, the solution enables researchers to confidently analyze scientific literature with enterprise AI platforms like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude while maintaining full copyright compliance.
"Our customers have been clear: they need AI capabilities to accelerate their research, but they cannot risk non-compliance," said Roy W. Olivier, CEO of Research Solutions. "This launch delivers on our commitment to eliminate friction in the research workflow while creating sustainable value for publishers. We're solving a compliance problem while enabling a new era of AI-powered scientific research."
Research teams confront several complex obstacles when attempting to integrate AI tools into their workflows. Most publishers explicitly prohibit the use of their content in AI applications, yet no streamlined mechanism exists for acquiring necessary permissions. Research Solutions' AI Rights add-on solves this through several key innovations:
- Comprehensive Rights Management: Users can manage all AI rights sources through a single interface—whether through open access licenses, Reproduction Rights Organization agreements (RROs), direct publisher relationships, or Article Galaxy marketplace acquisition
- Instant Rights Verification: Users immediately see AI usage permissions for any article, removing guesswork and compliance uncertainty
- One-Click Rights Acquisition: Missing permissions can be purchased directly through the Article Galaxy interface with transparent pricing from participating publishers
- Retroactive Rights Purchase: Organizations can acquire AI rights for articles previously purchased, enabling immediate compliance for existing content libraries
- Organization-Wide Licensing: AI Rights acquired apply across the entire organization, eliminating per-use restrictions and ongoing compliance concerns
"The combination of generative AI and scientific literature creates unprecedented opportunities for accelerating discovery, but only when researchers can access content legally and efficiently," said Chris Bendall, VP of Product Strategy at Research Solutions. "We've built a solution that makes AI analysis of scientific content both legally compliant and operationally seamless—turning what was previously a compliance risk into a competitive advantage."
