Hi there, Pubgetters! Here’s a sneak peak at our new big announcement. Pubget is growing, thanks to your help!
January 6, 2010- Cambridge, MA
Pubget Inc., the search engine for life science PDFs, announced today the activation of its 300th institution. This milestone represents a substantial expansion of the service since its launch at Harvard, MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital two years ago.
Activation is the proprietary process that allows Pubget to synchronize with the holdings and authentication system of the institutional library, and is free for universities and non-profit institutions. Once activated, users get instantaneous delivery of over 25 million articles through Pubget.com. “We received an enormous amount of requests in 2010 for institution activations, adding over 100 new institutions this year,” said Dr. Ramy Arnaout, founder of Pubget. “Our goal is to accelerate science, and we’re realizing that goal as more institutions use our service to streamline today’s fragmented research process.”
In addition to institution growth, the volume of researchers searching for papers across these institutions is growing. Pubget now serves over 20,000 researchers each day from these institutions, enterprises and elsewhere. “Researchers who search for papers on Pubget.com are in good company. Pubget is part of the daily lives of researchers at some of the more prestigious academic institutions in the world,” said Arnaout. Within these 300 are 24 of the top 25 NIH Grant Recipient Institutions, as well as 23 of the top 25 US News and World Report Universities.
