Research Solutions Launches Article Galaxy Plugin In The ChatGPT Plugin Directory, Bringing Rights-Cleared Article Access To AI Research Workflows

Researchers Can Now Check Article Availability, Confirm Access & Reuse Rights, & Order Scientific Literature Through Their Article Galaxy Account Within The ChatGPT Conversation

HENDERSON, Nev., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Research Solutions (NASDAQ: RSSS), a leading provider of AI-powered scientific research tools, announces the availability of Article Galaxy as a ChatGPT plugin. The release brings the company's scientific article access and document delivery capabilities directly into ChatGPT conversations, where a growing share of research work now begins.

With the Article Galaxy plugin, researchers can mention @Article Galaxy in any ChatGPT prompt to check whether an article is available through their organization's entitlements, verify access and reuse rights, place document orders, and track order status with download links. Ordered PDFs are delivered through the researcher's Article Galaxy account, preserving the compliant, rights-respecting workflow organizations already trust.

"AI platforms have become remarkably good at surfacing the literature, but they cannot resolve who has the right to use it. That capability lives in the entitlements, publisher agreements, and acquisition workflows our customers manage through Article Galaxy," states Chris Atwood, Vice President of Product Development & Implementations at Research Solutions. "This plugin puts that infrastructure at the point where research now begins, so compliant access is a native part of AI-assisted work instead of a step outside it."

As AI becomes part of more research workflows, it creates more opportunities for researchers to engage with the scientific literature. AI-assisted research can generate additional searches, article requests, and document acquisitions, increasing activity across the scholarly content ecosystem. For Research Solutions and its publishing partners, growing AI adoption has the potential to increase the volume of literature transactions flowing through the existing infrastructure.

Part Of A Wider AI Ecosystem Strategy

The ChatGPT plugin directory listing extends Research Solutions' work in making its products available wherever research happens. Article Galaxy also connects to Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants through the company's Model Context Protocol server. Scite, which grounds AI answers in over 300M scientific articles, is available through the ChatGPT plugin directory and as a Claude Connector.

That reach also provides continuity. The subscriptions, licenses, and rights workflows organizations have spent years assembling now apply across the assistants their researchers use, with a single governed process instead of a new compliance surface for each AI platform.
