About

Paperity was launched in 2014 as the first aggregator of Open Access journals and papers, "gold" and "hybrid", that covers all academic disciplines and actively indexes dispersed journal websites. The purpose of Paperity is to:

  • give readers easy and unconstrained access to thousands of journals from hundreds of disciplines in one central location;
  • help authors reach their target audience, disseminate discoveries more effectively and maximize research impact;
  • raise exposure of journals, boost their readership and encourage new manuscript submissions.

Paperity is the way towards more efficient scholarly communication in all research fields, from Sciences, Technology, Medicine, to Social Sciences, to Humanities and Arts.


Features

Accessibility. All articles indexed by Paperity are Open Access (OA) and available with full text. This is a deliberate choice. Scholars are tired of paywalls and demand easy access to the literature they need, especially that this literature is created by themselves. Scholarly communication needs to be open, because openness is not about cost, it is about freedom of scientific investigation.

Unification. Paperity is multi-disciplinary and covers all fields of research. Today, scholars need wide access to literature from different fields, even from outside of their core research area. Research has become interdisciplinary and the most ground-breaking discoveries happen on the crossroads of different disciplines. Academic services need to catch up.

Integrity and high quality of the corpus. Paperity makes sure to only index genuine scholarly literature. Thanks to our unique technology, we collect detailed metadata on every publication and pay close attention not to pollute the collection with irrelevant entries. In Paperity, you will never find student assignments, business presentations or cooking recipes classified as scholarly papers.
