HighWire has announced a partnership with Semantic Scholar aimed at enhancing article discovery for researchers. Semantic Scholar is funded by the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence (AI2), a non-profit AI research institute whose mission is 'AI for the Common Good'.
Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered research tool for scientific literature, intended to empower scholars to overcome information overload by making it easy to discover and understand the scientific literature most relevant to their work.
Through the partnership, Semantic Scholar will apply semantic tools and AI models to HighWire’s publishers’ articles, and index the content and related metadata. As with other open discovery services, only the metadata of an article will be freely available via Semantic Scholar; if the user wants to access the full text they will be directed back to the publisher's website for COUNTER-compliant access to the original articles.
