CORE

CORE is essentially a massive, freely accessible search engine specifically for scholarly research. Imagine having a single search bar that lets you look across millions of open access papers, theses, and datasets from repositories and journals all over the world — that's what CORE provides. It aggregates content from over 10,000 data providers, including institutional repositories, subject-specific archives, and journal publishers, making it one of the most comprehensive open access discovery services available. What makes CORE particularly useful is that it doesn't just link to papers — it often provides direct access to the full text, even when the original repository might be difficult to navigate. The platform uses intelligent algorithms to enrich metadata, remove duplicates, and connect related research outputs, creating a more cohesive search experience. For researchers who don't have institutional access to paywalled databases, CORE levels the playing field by providing a single, powerful interface to discover and access scholarly knowledge from around the globe.
