Overview

Semantic Scholar helps people search and discover scientific papers across science. It indexes over 200 million academic papers and surfaces connections and meaning from within papers so researchers can understand a paper at a glance.

It also includes Semantic Reader for select papers, an augmented reading experience with contextual information. The tool is built by the Allen Institute for AI and provides free search and discovery tools for the research community.

Semantic Scholar includes a developer API with paper search, documentation, and stability improvements for builders working on scholarly apps.
