PROVIDENCE, R.I.-(Business Wire)-September 24, 2009 - Pubget, the life science search engine empowering full-text journal access, today activates its 100th research institution. This brings Pubget’s capabilities to an estimated base of 500,000 research scientists and clinicians worldwide.

“I’m tremendously pleased that we’ve reached the 100 institution milestone,” notes Ramy Arnaout, Pubget Chairman and CEO. “When we founded the company our core goal was to accelerate the pace of science. Now with the support of tens of thousands of users, we’re accelerating science at more research centers than ever, all over the world.”

Pubget’s growing popularity stems from its proprietary pathing database. This database helps Pubget deliver a radically efficient search experience by providing users instant access to their publisher subscriptions: With Pubget, users don’t just get a list of results, they get papers.

According to a recent Outsell, Inc. report, Pubget aligns with a larger trend toward “power browsing,” where users prefer to search and consume content irrespective of the source from which it came. Such “publisher-neutral” search makes Pubget comparable to an iTunes or Amazon Bookstore for scientific literature.

The Outsell Insights report also notes that Pubget’s copyright-compliant approach and instant content delivery likely drives up core content usage for content owners, much like iTunes and Amazon do for their respective media.
