    Unpaywall is a database of Open Access (OA) content that maintains OA links to full text articles and OA resources. For more information about Unpaywall, see https://unpaywall.org/. 

    The discovery of Unpaywall's OA content requires you to subscribe to its database in the Client Center. This ensures the following:

    • All CDI records with OA links from Unpaywall are marked as OA and appear under the Open Access facet.

    • Indexed Unpaywall links are returned by CDI as regular IEDL links and are prioritized using standard linking logic.

    • Unpaywall links also appear as a "Link to PDF" link in Summon search results when there are no available Quick Links for the full text.

    Unpaywall's content is updated twice a week in CDI.

     
    To activate Unpaywall content for display in Summon:
    1. Open the Database Management page in the Client Center.

    2. Search for the Unpaywall database.
