We've spent the last quarter focusing on new capabilities dedicated to accelerating your research workflow and simplifying how you discover, access, and manage scientific literature.
New AI-Powered Search: Smarter Discovery, Faster Results
Smart Search That Actually Understands Scientific Literature
Article Galaxy's completely redesigned search now harnesses Scite's advanced capabilities, bringing a smarter, faster, and more intuitive way to discover and manage scientific literature.
Key Benefits For Researchers:
- Deeper Insights With Full-Text Citation Search: Move beyond basic metadata to access citation statement excerpts directly from full-text articles, giving you richer context and more relevant results for your research.
- Flexible Search Modes: Choose between Basic Search for quick keyword, DOI, or PubMed ID lookups, or Advanced Search using Boolean logic for comprehensive literature reviews requiring complex, targeted queries.
- Refined Filters & Sorting: Drill down by Paper Type, Journal, Editorial Notice, Author, and Affiliation, with flexible sorting options like Relevance, Date, and Total Cited to find exactly what you need.
- Integrated Workflow: Order PDFs directly from search results with one click. Article Galaxy automatically checks for Open Access availability, existing subscriptions, and token entitlements before processing any purchase.
- Research Management Integration: Save articles directly to Article Galaxy References folders from search results, access recent searches, view integrated Scite badges for citation context, and seamlessly export citation data for continued use.
- Smart Research Tools: Quickly evaluate relevance with abstract previews, explore connected research through related articles, and easily revisit previous queries to build on your work.
This represents a major evolution in how researchers interact with Article Galaxy—transforming it into a unified, AI-powered platform that simplifies your entire research journey from discovery to organization. Whether you're sourcing literature, ordering PDFs, or managing references, everything is now faster, more intelligent, and more aligned with how you actually work.
Inline Re-Use Rights
View licensing and re-use permissions directly within the search results preview pane—no more tab-switching that disrupts your research flow.
Check licensing terms and continue reviewing results without losing momentum, supporting faster decision-making for your research projects.
Instant Availability At A Glance
You can now see article availability—whether content is Open Access, already owned, or available for order—directly from the Search Results page, eliminating the need to open the Article Details view. We've also expanded backend tracking to better understand how researchers interact with New Search, giving us clearer insight into usage trends and areas for continued improvement.
These improvements are designed to improve usability, increase transparency, and ensure a smoother experience across different use cases.
Key Updates For Administrators
Enhanced Role Management & SSO Experience
Administrators can now toggle between admin and end-user views seamlessly, making it easier to manage operations while experiencing the platform from a researcher's perspective. Our SSO-driven login automatically routes administrators through the appropriate authentication flow based on their organization's configuration, reducing login friction while maintaining security.
Additionally, new configuration options allow organizations to hide password change and reset options from specific user roles, supporting better governance over credentials and account security.
Bulk Order Approval For High-Volume Management
Select and approve multiple orders simultaneously from BounceBack, Token, and Office Hours queues using checkbox selection and an approval modal with flexible next-step options including client fulfillment, Article Galaxy processing, or placing orders on hold.
Improved User Visibility In Admin Queues
Admin queues now display requester usernames and full names with sortable columns, enabling quick identification and batch processing of orders from the same researcher. This improvement allows administrators to group orders by individual users and complete multi-order approvals with significantly fewer clicks.
Transparent Pricing For Confident Admin Decision-Making
Admin queues now display requester usernames and full names with sortable columns, enabling quick identification and batch processing of orders from the same researcher. This improvement allows administrators to group orders by individual users and complete multi-order approvals with significantly fewer clicks.
Article Galaxy Updates
Smarter Order Workflow That Prioritizes Cost Savings
Updated order workflow now prioritizes Open Access content immediately after PDF Library materials and before subscriptions or paid options, reducing unnecessary spending while accelerating access to free research. Orders fulfilled through PDF Library or Open Access no longer route to the BounceBack queue, preventing unnecessary delays in completion.
Clear Research Solutions Invoice Branding For A Consistent, Trusted Experience
We've refreshed Article Galaxy invoice email templates to ensure clarity and consistency in customer communications. You'll now receive invoice emails with clear, recognizable subject lines that simply read "Article Galaxy Invoice," making them easy to identify in your inbox. The sender name now appears as "Research Solutions Billing" for clear brand recognition, while all email domains have been updated to "@researchsolutions.com" with signatures from "The Team at Research Solutions."
With these updates, we seek to provide our users with a cohesive, professional experience across all touchpoints while maintaining easily identifiable billing communications and processes that align with the Research Solutions brand you know.
