Perpetual Access to Millions of Open Research Publications From Around The World


confused paper man

Fatcat is a versioned, user-editable catalog of research publications including journal articles, conference proceedings, and datasets

Features include archival file-level metadata (verified digests and long-term copies, in addition to URLs), a documented API, and work/release indexing (aka, linking together of pre-prints and final copies).  Read more...

The fatcat service is developed and hosted at The Internet Archive, a US non-profit dedicated to providing Universal Access to All Knowledge. Donations are welcomed!

Funding comes the The Andrew Mellon Foundation, to improve preservation and access to "long-tail" open access works on the public web which could otherwise be lost.
