What we do

Article Galaxy is the flagship product of Research Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: RSSS), a pioneer in scholarly content access since 2006. For two decades, we've connected researchers at corporations, academic institutions, and government agencies to the world's largest collection of peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and technical standards.

Content licensing, subscription management, and on-demand purchasing are complicated. Our platform absorbs that complexity so researchers don't have to. Instead of navigating dozens of publisher portals, they search once, click once, and get the article they need. Administrators keep full visibility into spending, compliance, and usage across the organization.

Company History

Two decades of getting research into the right hands

Research Solutions was founded in 2006 with a simple promise: when a researcher needs a paper, they should get it quickly, legally, and without the runaround. That promise started as document delivery. It grew into Article Galaxy, a platform built to meet researchers where they already worked, from one-click access inside Google Scholar and PubMed to integrations with the tools libraries and R&D teams already relied on.

Access was never the end goal. Understanding is. In 2023, Research Solutions acquired ResoluteAI and Scite, adding AI-powered discovery and Smart Citations that show whether published research supports or contrasts the claims it cites. A 2024 rebrand made the direction official: one company, built to carry research from question to verified answer.

Today, more than 1,800 corporate customers and over 206,000 active users worldwide rely on Research Solutions, including 70% of top research organizations and academic institutions. The promise hasn't changed since 2006: get the research you need, the moment you need it, with the rights to use it.
