Semantic Scholar and OpenAthens collaborate to provide access to academic research

The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence and OpenAthens are forming a joint partnership to add a new institutional login option on Semantic Scholar, enabling a seamless access experience for researchers.

Semantic Scholar’s free and non-profit academic search platform helps researchers make new discoveries and save time by using AI to identify relevant academic information.

Publication of scientific research has grown exponentially over the past 20 years. As a result, researchers today have difficulty keeping up.

Semantic Scholar's investments in information extraction and natural language processing (NLP) helps users quickly identify relevant research and make important connections. This is accomplished with AI-backed features such as citation classifications and linking a variety of related content including videos and code libraries to papers.

OpenAthens single sign-on technology now allows Semantic Scholar’s millions of users to login using their academic or institutional credentials.

Researchers with Semantic Scholar accounts can take advantage of paper and author alerts and a personalized library for saving papers.

Academic authors can highlight their work by claiming their author profile and adding papers and affiliations. They can also add links to ORCID and academic homepages.

Institutional users can also get direct access to subscribed full text research when their library uses a publisher link resolver. This partnership improves full text access for Semantic Scholar users and opens the door for further enhancements.

“As a fellow non-profit, it made sense for us to partner with Semantic Scholar to add institutional login and simplify full text access within Semantic Scholar’s discovery platform” said Jon Bentley, commercial director at OpenAthens. “We are excited to continue to build on this partnership in the future.”
