Access was the first bottleneck. It was not the last one.

Getting to full text used to mean chasing links across publishers, proxies and dead ends. LibKey removed that friction by resolving a citation to the article a reader can actually open. But access is only the first step. Screening, retrieval and evidence assessment carry their own friction, and many researchers still fall back on spreadsheets.

What LibKey solves

LibKey assesses sources, resolves competing links and connects a reader to the version of record. It also signals retractions and expressions of concern. The article a researcher opens is the right one, and its status is known before it is used.

What happens next

ScholarIQ carries that access through search, screening and full-text retrieval inside one review. Every AI-assisted step stays traceable to its source, and the reviewer keeps the decision.

What you will see

One hour, one worked example, no feature tour.

How LibKey selects among competing links and connects a citation to the version of record a reader can open

How retractions and expressions of concern are signalled before a record enters an included set

How library entitlements and Open Access sources are brought into the same workflow

How that access carries through search, screening and full-text retrieval without leaving the review

How each AI-assisted step stays traceable to the source behind it

Where reviewer judgment stays in control, and where AI assistance does not belong
