About OpenScholar-Web

Research discovery built around the researcher

OpenScholar-Web is a research discovery and scholarly workflow platform built in India to help researchers, faculty and students discover literature, organize knowledge, monitor emerging research and build their scholarly presence.

Our Purpose

From finding a paper to building research knowledge

Research discovery is more than entering a keyword into a search box. Researchers need to find relevant literature, identify accessible sources, preserve important papers, organize reading, revisit ideas and stay aware of new work in their field.

OpenScholar-Web brings these activities into a connected research environment while keeping the experience focused, transparent and easy to use.
