<h2 style="color: #5f398e; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0 0 14px; font-weight: bold;">Access was the first bottleneck. It was not the last one.</h2>
<p style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.7; color: #555; margin: 0 0 22px;">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.</p>

<h3 style="color: #5f398e; font-size: 1.15em; margin: 0 0 10px; font-weight: bold;">What LibKey solves</h3>
<p style="margin: 0; line-height: 1.7; color: #444; font-size: 0.98em;">LibKey assesses sources, resolves competing links and connects a reader to the version of record. It also signals retractions and expressions of concern. <strong>The article a researcher opens is the right one, and its status is known before it is used.</strong></p>
