<h1>About Scholarly Search</h1>
<p><i>See also: <a href="{{ lang_prefix }}/help">User Guide</a> which lists
some bugs and known issues</i>
<a name="howitworks"></a>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>Content in this search index comes from preservation copies at the Internet
Archive in one of three forms:
<ul>
<li><b>public web content</b> in the Wayback Machine web archives
(web.archive.org), either identified from historic collecting, crawled
specifically to ensure long-term access to scholarly materials, or crawled at
the direction of our Archive-It partners
<li><b>digitized print material</b> from paper and microform collections
purchased and scanned by Internet Archive or our partners
<li><b>general materials</b> on the archive.org collections, including
content from partner organizations, uploads from the general public, and
mirrors of other projects
</ul>
<p>This <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PARqfbYIdXQ">2019 FORCE11
conference presentation</a> gives an overview of the technical infrastructure
and goals of the project overall.

<h3>Content Sources</h3>
<p>Metadata comes from <a href="https://fatcat.wiki">fatcat.wiki</a>, an open
user-editable catalog of scholarly work. It should be possible to track and
attribute the provenance of content and metadata in all cases; please contact
us if you have questions or concenrs.

<h3>Text and Data Mining</h3>
<p>We intend to provide researcher access to the full corpus for text and data
mining purposes. Derived datasets may also be posted publicly for analysis, for
example a citation graph or N-gram frequencies by year. If you are interested
or would like to see specific datasets made available, please contact us.
<p>Currently snapshots of the full fatcat metadata corpus and upstream metadata
sources are uploaded periodically to the
<a href="https://archive.org/details/ia_biblio_metadata">Bulk Bibliographic
Metadata</a> collection on archive.org.
Read more in <a href="https://guide.fatcat.wiki/bulk_exports.html">the Fatcat Guide</a>.

<h3>Contact Information</h3>
<p>The organizational contact information for the Internet Archive is listed at
<a href="https://archive.org/about/contact.php">https://archive.org/about/contact.php</a>.
Queries about this search service and the fatcat catalog can be directed to
