Dimensions

Dimensions is a combined analytical, search & discovery, and information management database which has developed API tools to control and organize its holdings. The Digital Science philosophy has been that metrics and indicators belong to the scholars generating the research, not to a vendor, hence the majority of its articles and bibliographic indicators are Open Access, and free to the research community. Charges are assessed, however, for Dimensions Plus subscriptions which provide links among policy papers, grant information, clinical trials, and other information of interest to academic administrators, institutions, publishers, and librarians. Dimensions offers the ability to generate new knowledge: its data may be used, and a new information artefact created, without having to leave its platform. Featuring a full text index that enables deep discovery and machine-learning based research classification, the search and navigation experience is smooth and intuitive. Offering many additional features that set it aside from traditional bibliometric databases, Dimensions is a tool that is designed primarily for expert users with knowledge of the various facets and research processes of the disciplines in which they search information.
