[Sigmetrics] 1findr: research discovery & analytics platform

Mark, David

It hasn’t been rapid, nor are we in beta. We started the project in 2011 at Science-Metrix. If you go on Science-Metrix’ site and look on our “old” reports, you’ll see that one produced for the European Commission.

In that project for the EC, we had to answer that seemingly easy question: what is the percentage of papers published in peer-reviewed journals. We found counting OA papers wasn’t easy (the numerator), and that no one had a comprehensive database with all the peer-reviewed journals (the denominator). We started working on OA at the time, and to do this we also started constructing the denominator in the equation – the full database of articles in peer-reviewed journals.

We have 400 million raw bibliographic records entering our system. The 1science data processing pipeline cluster, mashup, enrich and filter that mess to get those 90 million metadata records, including the direct links to 27 million open access articles. All of this is available publicly for all to search and OA papers can easily be discovered and downloaded with a single click from 1findr. That technology is complex, please be a tad forgiving here, we’re working as fast as we can and we really care about what we do.

Most cordially

Éric

There is a joke that what is called "rapid prototyping" actually means fielding the beta version. In that case every user is a beta tester.

It is fast and the filter numbers are useful in themselves. Some of the hits are a bit mysterious. It may have unique metric capabilities. Too bad that advanced search is not available for free.

Searching for my own papers I obtained some wrong records and the link to arXiv was broken. It does return results very quickly and many are useful. I am not sure whether 1science intended to use everyone in the world as beta-testers.

It appears not to be doing full text search, which is a significant limitation. I did a search on "chaotic" for 2018 and got 527 hits. Almost all had the term in the title and almost all of the remainder had it in the abstract. Normally with full text, those with the term only in the text are many times more than those with it in title, often orders of magnitude more.

But the scope is impressive, as is the ability to filter for OA.
