The Scientific Commons is an English/German language project that is attempting to create the largest publicly accessible database of scientific publications in the world. Unlike other online journal databases which provide only abstracts for free viewing, articles indexed by the Commons have full-text searchability without a paid subscription.
Publications are extensively cross-referenced, and the social and professional relationships between authors are displayed. The project uses an opensource protocol for indexing data, and can be easily personalized using RSS feeds.
The Scientific Commons is a project of the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland
