Applied Science Commons

The research record has a gap. Applied Science Commons fills it.

Researchers are citing non-journal sources more than ever—reports, case studies, technical documents, websites, blogs, and podcasts—from government agencies, research institutes, hospitals, industry bodies, professional consultancies, and other frontline organizations.

Most of this important, non-traditional literature sits outside mainstream academic discovery services. It's hard to find, difficult to cite, and at risk of disappearing. Applied Science Commons brings it into your institution's academic workflow. Where platforms like Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed index the journal literature, Applied Science Commons captures what they miss—the real-world evidence cited in serious research.

Every item is assigned a persistent identifier and preserved for the long term—so your researchers can find it, use it, cite it, and trust it will still be there when they need it.
