University Libraries

Consensus does not provide special access to paywalled journal articles.

• For Open Access papers, users can directly download the full-text PDF through Consensus.
• For paywalled articles, Consensus provides a direct link to the publisher’s page along with rich metadata and abstracts to help users determine relevance, without violating any copyright laws

Consensus integrates with LibKey – a tool available through Ohio University. This means any Ohio University user will be able to see exactly which paywalled articles are accessible through our library subscriptions. To enable this integration, declare your institution via this page: https://consensus.app/account/. 

Instructions for installing Nomad are available on this FAQ.
