Find easily, cite reliably
The Applied Science Commons platform makes it easy to find nontraditional items that aren't published in books and journals, cite them reliably, and use them in teaching and research—in course curricula, LibGuides, papers, and more. That's because for every item, we assign a permanent identifier and keep a backup copy. If the original website is down or an item is removed, Applied Science Mental Health will present the Coherent backup copy (with permission).
The award-winning platform makes searching easy and precise. Search by organization's name and type, country, region, topic, type of item (blog, report...), publication date, language, and dozens of other filters. Create custom lists for yourself or to publish. Set alerts, so you're the first to know when new items that match your search interests are published. Upload your own items, and more.
The massive index links you from a search result to the original source, where you see the item as it was published in context on the organization's website.
