Paperity is the first multi-disciplinary aggregator of Open Access journals and papers, “gold” and “hybrid”. It:
- gives readers easy and unconstrained access to thousands of journals from hundreds of disciplines, in one central location;
- helps authors reach their target audience, disseminate discoveries more effectively and maximize research impact;
- raises exposure of journals, boosts their readership and encourages new manuscript submissions.
Paperity is the way towards more efficient scholarly communication in all research fields, from Sciences, Technology, Medicine, to Social Sciences, to Humanities and Arts. Our ultimate goal is to aggregate 100% of Open Access literature, published in any place around the world, in any field of research.

demand easy access to all literature they need, especially that this literature is produced by themselves. Scholarly communication wants to be open, because openness is not about cost, it is about freedom of scientific investigation.
The Open Access movement has gained already a strong foothold in academia and its constant growth indicates that in a few years from now toll-access publications will simply disappear, or convert.
Universality. Paperity is multi-disciplinary and covers all fields of research. Today, scholars need wide access to literature, from many different fields, even from outside of their core research area. Research has become interdisciplinary and the most ground-breaking discoveries tend to happen on the crossroads of different fields.
Academic services need to catch up. Every tool that aims at facilitating access to literature must be multi-disciplinary in order to be really helpful. That is how Paperity works. After the Open Access movement tore down the paywalls that obstructed access to scholarship, Paperity now breaks down the walls that has traditionally separated different disciplines and impeded communication between researchers of different specialties.
Integrity and high quality of the corpus. Paperity makes sure to index only genuine scholarly literature. Thanks to our original technology, we collect detailed information about every document to be included and pay close attention not to pollute the collection with irrelevant entries. In Paperity, you will never find student assignments, business presentations or cooking recipes classified as scholarly papers. This is a unique feature. Other search engines and full-text aggregators blindly accept every PDF found on the web or uploaded by a user, and only PubMed Central provides similar level of consistency – PMC however is limited to life sciences alone. Importantly, Paperity assigns permanent addresses (URLs) to all article pages and guarantees that they will never change, thus everyone can safely link to them without the risk that they become invalid one day, as is often the case with original article pages at source journal websites.
Paperity is under constant development. We not only keep extending the corpus of literature, but also want to add many ground-breaking features to the website that will help academics fully embrace Web 2.0 and start communicating and disseminating efficiently.
Partners
EBSCO Information Services is a major global provider of bibliographical services for academic and research libraries. In order to encourage the use of Open Access resources among library users, EBSCO and Paperity established cooperation: Paperity informs EBSCO about all new journals that join the aggregator and EBSCO includes them – together with hyperlinks to their Paperity profile pages – inEBSCO A-to-Z, a bibliographical catalog used by libraries and library users around the world to facilitate and manage their access to journals.

Altmetric (www.altmetric.com) is the leading provider of alternative metrics of research impact. Under the partnership with Paperity, Altmetric tracks online mentions of Paperity pages of articles and measures online attention they receive in social media (Facebook, Twitter etc.), with calculation of the Altmetric score for each of them. This helps authors demonstrate their impact, even soon after publication, and build their academic CV. Alternative metrics complement traditional citation-based metrics and gain more and more popularity in academic institutions as a simple yet effective way to measure personal impact of individual researchers.

StrikePlagiarism.com and Plagiat.pl (strikeplagiarism.com, plagiat.pl) are leading providers of anti-plagiarism software, offering their services in Europe, Asia and Latin America, and cooperating with over 250 universities around the world. Paperity helps them fight academic fraud by providing bibliographical data of reference works for anti-plagiarism checks. Thanks to this cooperation, journals included in Paperity enjoy greater anti-plagiarism protection and benefit from an increased number of accurate citations that correctly reference their publications.
