RESEARCH METADATA & ACCESS

DOI Access Check

Check a DOI, review the available metadata and reported open-access links. Save papers to My Library to generate citations there. You can choose to save a checked paper to your local My Library reading list.

Green — Open Access found

A reported open-access location was found. Open the source and check its access terms.

Red — Access restricted / paywall confirmed

Use this only when a source explicitly confirms restricted or paid access. ScholarAccess does not infer a paywall just because no free copy was found.

Yellow — Unverified

Open-access availability could not be confirmed. This does not mean the paper is paid.

Enter a DOI above to check the available metadata.

Bulk DOI lookup

Paste up to 20 DOI values, one per line. ScholarAccess will look up each DOI through OpenAlex metadata, report the OA metadata signal, and let you save found records to My Library. An OA metadata signal is not proof that a link is live or that reuse is permitted.

DOIs (one per line)

Ready. Maximum 20 DOI values per batch.

DOI	Title	Year	OA metadata	Result
No batch results yet.

Research integrity note: An OA location reported by metadata is not a guarantee that the link works or that reuse is permitted. If no OA location is found, the result will be “Unverified”—not “Paid”—because missing metadata does not prove a paywall. Check the linked source and its license.
