Frequently asked questions

What does the search match?

The search looks across titles and full text, so a query like `machine learning` returns the most relevant works ranked by relevance.

Does it include citation counts?

Yes. Each record includes the number of times the work has been cited, plus its authors, venue and open access status.

Can I find free full text?

Where a work is open access, the record includes an open access URL you can follow to the full text.

How fresh is the data?

Records are read live at run time, so each reflects the catalog at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
