Rights Management
Acquire the article and the rights to use it
Article Galaxy brings authorized access and article-level permissions into one workflow. It records the rights acquired with each article, so teams can verify what is allowed before they share, submit, publish, or use content with AI—and add rights when needed.
Check your Re-Use Rights for an article or journal.

Article intended use
Access through approved use
One workflow from lawful access to documented permission
Getting the PDF and having permission for a specific use are two different questions. Article Galaxy keeps both answers together.
- 01
Authorized access
Start with a lawful copy
Article Galaxy checks your existing library, open-access versions, subscriptions, rentals, and licensed purchase or document-delivery options before the article is acquired.
- 02
Intended use
See what the current access permits
Review article-level permissions for reading, internal sharing, regulatory or legal submission, external distribution, commercial reuse, and AI use.
- 03
Additional rights
Acquire what is missing
When additional permissions are available, add them to the article purchase. When a use requires a custom quote, the request can be escalated to a copyright specialist.
- 04
Persistent rights record
Keep the rights with the article
Retain a timestamped rights display and printable or emailable record so permitted uses can be checked later by researchers, administrators, or auditors.
One answer, backed by every relevant agreement
Article Galaxy checks publisher terms, your organization’s agreements, open-access licenses, and RRO coverage, then shows one clear answer for the intended use.
Publisher licensing terms
Terms and conditions direct from the publisher.
Your organization's agreements
The specific licenses your company already holds with publications.
Open access and Creative Commons
CC license types and verified open access status.
Reproduction rights organizations
Your agreements with the CCC, CLA, and other RROs.
What your team sees
One answer per article, timestamped for your records.
Compliance evidence when the question comes later
Rights can be checked at acquisition and verified again before content is shared, submitted, published, or reused.
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.
Check before you publish
Verify permissions for regulatory submissions, medical affairs use, and external distribution before content leaves your organization.
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
Publisher terms for AI use vary and are not always easy to interpret. Article Galaxy shows AI rights at the article level and, when additional rights are available, lets you acquire them 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.
Rights that stay with the article
When a publisher offers perpetual, company-wide AI rights, acquire them once and keep the permission record attached to the article for future approved workflows.
Major publisher coverage
Direct licensing partnerships with Wiley, Sage, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and other major STM publishers, and growing.
