Build your library on solid ground

Rights intelligence lives inside the workflow, so compliance happens where the work happens.

01

Check before you share

As your company library grows, confirm an article's internal sharing rights before it circulates, so distribution stays licensed and tracked.

02

Check before you publish

Verify permissions for regulatory submissions, medical affairs use, and external distribution before content leaves your organization.

03

Document compliance

Every rights display is timestamped, with printable and emailable records for audit-ready proof of compliant use. Copyright experts are on call when a right needs a quote.

AI Rights

Use scholarly content in AI workflows, safely and legally

Most publishers restrict AI use on their content, with no easy way to get permission. Article Galaxy shows AI rights at the article level and lets you acquire what’s missing in the same checkout as the PDF.

Instant rights verification

Check AI usage permissions at the article level before downloading, detected automatically from open access licenses, RRO agreements, and your subscriptions.

One-click acquisition

When AI rights don't exist yet, buy them directly in the Article Galaxy interface alongside the PDF.

Perpetual, company-wide rights

Pay once and own the rights indefinitely, with no recurring fees. As new AI tools emerge, your rights travel with you.

Major publisher coverage

Direct licensing partnerships with Wiley, Sage, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and other major STM publishers, and growing.
