Fatcat is a versioned, user-editable catalog of research publications including journal articles, conference proceedings, and datasets.
Features include archival file-level metadata (verified digests and long-term copies), a preservation coverage visualizer, work/edition grouping, an open API, and public metadata dumps. Read more...
This service is hosted at the Internet Archive, a US non-profit digital library dedicated to providing Universal Access to All Knowledge. Donations welcome!
Development for this project funding comes from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, specifically to capture "long-tail" open access works on the public web which might otherwise be lost.
Internet Archive Scholar is a sibling service, built on the Fatcat catalog, providing end-user access to and full-text search over research content across the Internet Archive's various holdings.
