Add oadoi.org as an option in uresolver
https://oadoi.org/ has recently launched with an open API. It automates linking to an open access version of articles using the DOI (eg finding them in subject repositories or institutional repositories). From a very quick tiny-sample experiment, this could fill about 50% of recent articles that show in Primo for us as "no full-text available".
At least one library has worked to make this available in their installation of SFX - see https://devtools.mpdl.mpg.de/projects/vlib/wiki/SFXTargets/oaDOIgetFullTxt Could something like this be added as an option to Alma's uResolver?
The desired behaviour is that oadoi.org displays as an option if the API's value of isfreeto_read is true. When the link is followed it would go to http://oadoi.org/{rft.doi}.
This should obviously be an optional service: ideally institutions should be able to activate it and order it as desired in the Online Services Order.
November release includes a new linkresolver service for Unpaywall Open Access articles.
The service is disabled by default, in order to enable it set the customer parameter enable_open_access_services_from_unpaywall_api to true.
Some information regarding the way the service works:
1. If an incoming OpenURL contains a DOI, Alma link resolver will call Unpaywall API.
2. If the API will return a URL to the PDF of the article the service will appear.
3. If the API does not return a URL to the PDF of the article the service will not appear.

I believe this is incorrectly marked as Complete, as it does not appear for Primo in scenarios of 'no full text', which is clearly stated as the desired use case.
See new idea: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/39194977-oadoi-unpaywall-link-doesn-t-display-where-needed -

Dana, is there any update on this?

Hi Deborah

The sfx unpaywall service works well, but in Alma or Primo, there is not a 'official' way to use it yet, while there is only a little bit of information found in Knowledge center. So, a easy to use solution is expect ed.

Hi Dana, this has now been "Planned" for almost two years and as you can tell there's still high interest in it. Can Alma Product Management advise what progress has been made or when we could expect to see it implemented? Thank you!

Keen to hear any update on this, particularly given Plan-S developments, and Jisc Collection difficulties with renewing various journal packages for the 2019 year, thanks

Any news here? (So far we have supplied http://oadoi.org/{rft.doi}-links for testing only, but this doesn´t work now that oadoi has been redirected to unpaywall.org.)

Hi Dana,
any new information and timeline for that? We wait strongly for the solution. Thanks

Hi Dana, it would be great to get this important enhancement asap, as it really fits the need of academic libraries and their researchers. Could you please give an update on this? Thanks

Is this available yet? When it is available, will you be informing libraries who wish to implement the enhancement how to get it done?

Hi Dana
Is there an estimated date for this enhancement? We heard that it is already available in SFX -

Sounds like a great ideal. Well done!
