Hvordan det fungerer

Content in this search index comes in one of three forms:

• public web content as preserved in The Wayback Machine and Archive-It partner collections
• digitized print materials from paper and microform collections
• general materials from archive.org collections, including collaborations with partners

This 2019 FORCE11 conference presentation gives an overview of the technical infrastructure and goals of the project overall.

Innholdskilder

Metadata comes from fatcat.wiki, an open user-editable catalog of scholarly work. It should be possible to track and attribute the provenance of content and metadata in all cases. Please contact us if you have questions.

Tekst og datautvinning

We intend to provide researcher access to the full corpus for text and data mining purposes. Derived datasets may also be posted publicly for analysis, for example a citation graph or N-gram frequencies by year. If you are interested or would like to see specific datasets made available, please contact us.

Currently snapshots of the full fatcat metadata corpus and upstream metadata sources are uploaded periodically to the Bulk Bibliographic Metadata collection on archive.org. Read more in the Fatcat Guide.

Authors and Publishers

Information specifically for authors of research works can be found at https://guide.fatcat.wiki/authors.html. This includes instructions for correcting bibliographic metadata and updates to published works.

Likewise information specifically for publishers can be found at https://guide.fatcat.wiki/publishers.html. This includes guidelines for having content indexed and preserved.
