Semantic Scholar
PaidAI-Powered Research Tool for Scientific Literature
About Semantic Scholar
Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered research tool that indexes over 200 million academic papers across all fields of science. It provides AI-driven search and discovery, enabling researchers to understand a paper at a glance, extract meaning, and identify connections within and across papers. The platform includes the Semantic Reader (in beta), an augmented reader that makes scientific reading more accessible and contextual. Additionally, Semantic Scholar offers open datasets like the Semantic Scholar Academic Graph (S2AG) and the Semantic Scholar Open Research Corpus (S2ORC), as well as a developer API for building scholarly applications. It was launched in 2015 by the non-profit AI research institute Ai2.
