cite.science

An open and collectively curated citation database

Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, Web of Science, and many other academic literature indices are indispensable tools for any researcher, but they are all commercial, closed, and as a result, opaque.

We need an OpenStreetMap for academic literature metadata: an open and community-curated database of citations and other publication metadata.

This site is an attempt to build that database.

Follow the progress of this endeavor at this URL, cite.science, and on GitHub: @cite-science.
