FAQ Question
How do I access the full text of a paper?
When you find a paper you’re interested in reading, you will find access options below the abstract of the paper located on the paper detail page.
If we have an available link to a paper or PDF, you will see options to View PDF, View Paper, or View via Publisher below the abstract. The 'View' options will re-direct you to a full-text PDF or to the publisher source where you may find the best options for accessing the paper. If the paper is not freely accessible, you may be directed to a publisher website with options to purchase a paper.
If you see 'No Paper Link Available' below the abstract, we do not have a source link and information is limited to the paper title and other metadata on the page.
Note: Semantic Scholar has partnered with Get Full Text Research (GetFTR) and LibKey to provide direct access to subscription-based articles that your institution has access to. For more information, see How do I access a PDF using my institutional affiliation?.
