We're a small nonprofit on a mission inspired by the ancient Library of Alexandria: to create a universal database of research information. We gather, organize, and serve info on 280M papers, 100M authors, billions of citations and more. We’re passionately open: our code is open source, and our data is free and public domain. We value kindness, creativity, and getting stuff done. Our work supports millions of users every day, and we’re growing fast.
