What is the CNRS Click & Read extension?

IT IS A BROWSER EXTENSION

A web extension is an application that can be installed in your browser with just a few clicks. It is added to the list of your browser extensions and a shortcut to it can be added to your personal bar.

The Click & Read extension was developed for use with Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari (from OS 14).

It can also be installed on Chromium-based browsers such as Brave or Edge (from version 2021).

It functions transparently when you are browsing the Internet and does not have a search interface.

A UNIFIED EXTENSION

Developed by Inist-CNRS for CNRS research communities, Click & Read is aimed at all researchers and research staff subject to access rights.

Click and Read facilitates and unifies access to documentary resources from several source institutions.

Click & Read consults according to your settings and rights:

  • The open reservoir Unpaywall (which contains the data of HAL...),
  • A reservoir of acquired archives for all ESR establishments ISTEX
  • The repository of archives resulting from consortial agreements negotiated via the Couperin PANIST consortium, whose use is reserved for member establishments.
  • The document repository(s) of your supervisory institution(s), e.g. CNRS, Inserm, Université de Lyon1.
    There is no limit to the number of source institutions, except for your access rights.

Concerning the BibCnrs portal for CNRS users: access rights are identical. In case of doubt, your authorized domain(s) is/are visible after login. Janus to BibCnrs by hovering the mouse over your name in the top right-hand corner of the BibCnrs home page. BibCnrs home page.

At the beginning of 2024, Click & Read will have more than 60 partner institutions: universities, grandes écoles, research organizations.

This number evolves regularly to offer maximum reciprocity CNRS and ESR access within joint structures.
