Research Solutions Launches AI Rights Add-On for Article Galaxy, Enabling Copyright-Compliant AI Analysis of Scientific Literature

Research Solutions Launches AI Rights Add-On to Keep AI Use of Journal Articles Copyright-Safe

Most research teams now use AI, yet copyright policies for analyzing journal content are unclear. Research Solutions (NASDAQ: RSSS) has launched an AI Rights add-on for Article Galaxy to solve that gap, giving corporate researchers a compliant path to run AI analysis on scientific literature at scale.

The add-on connects rights verification, acquisition, and publisher relationships in one workflow. Researchers get instant clarity on permissions and easy access to purchase missing rights-so teams can use enterprise AI platforms like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude with confidence.

Why this matters

Many publishers restrict AI use of their content, and there's rarely a simple way to get the right permissions. That creates legal risk and slows down analysis. AI Rights brings the legal answer into the research workflow, so teams can move fast without guessing on compliance.

It integrates directly with publisher partners and supports common enterprise AI tools. For teams standardizing on Microsoft 365, compatibility with Microsoft Copilot is especially useful.

How the AI Rights add-on works

• Comprehensive rights management: See and manage AI usage rights from open access licenses, RROs, direct publisher deals, or the Article Galaxy marketplace in one place.
• Instant rights verification: View AI permissions for any article immediately-no more guesswork.
• One-click rights acquisition: Buy missing AI permissions directly in Article Galaxy with transparent pricing from participating publishers.
• Retroactive rights purchase: Add AI rights to previously purchased articles to bring existing libraries into compliance fast.
• Organization-wide licensing: Rights apply across the entire organization, reducing per-use friction and ongoing compliance overhead.

What leaders are saying

"Our customers have been clear: they need AI capabilities to accelerate their research, but they cannot risk non-compliance," said Roy W. Olivier, CEO of Research Solutions. "This launch delivers on our commitment to eliminate friction in the research workflow while creating sustainable value for publishers. We're solving a compliance problem while enabling a new era of AI-powered scientific research."

"The combination of generative AI and scientific literature creates unprecedented opportunities for accelerating discovery, but only when researchers can access content legally and efficiently," said Chris Bendall, VP of Product Strategy at Research Solutions. "We've built a solution that makes AI analysis of scientific content both legally compliant and operationally seamless-turning what was previously a compliance risk into a competitive advantage."

What this enables for your team

Legal clarity on AI usage, baked into your content access platform. Faster analysis with fewer manual checks. Confidence that your literature reviews, summaries, and model inputs stay within publisher rules.

If 76% of your researchers already use AI tools, this creates a scalable path to standardize permissions across teams and projects-without rebuilding your workflow.
