Summary:

"Perpetual Access to Millions of Open Research Publications From Around The World..."

About: "Fatcat is a versioned, publicly-editable catalog of research publications: journal articles, conference proceedings, pre-prints, blog posts, and so forth. The goal is to improve the state of preservation and access to these works by providing a manifest of full-text content versions and locations.

This service does not directly contain full-text content itself, but provides basic access for human and machine readers through links to copies in web archives, repositories, and the public web....

This service aspires to be a piece of sustainable, long-term, non-profit, free-software, collaborative, open digital infrastructure. It is primarily designed to support the archival and dissemination roles of scholarly communication. It may also support the registration role (establishing precedence and authorship), but explicitly does not aid with certification of content, and is not intended to be used for evaluation of individuals, institutions, or venues. This service is "universal", not currated, and happily includes retracted and "predatory" content)...."

Sources of metadata: "The core metadata bootstrap sources, by entity type, are:

  • releases: Crossref metadata, with DOIs as the primary identifier, and PubMed (central), Wikidata, and CORE identifiers cross-referenced
  • containers: munged metadata from the DOAJ, ROAD, and Norwegian journal list, with ISSN-Ls as the primary identifier. ISSN provides an "ISSN to ISSN-L" mapping to normalize electronic and print ISSN numbers.
  • creators: ORCID metadata and identifier...."
