<p style="text-align:justify"><b>With the beginning of the new academic year, <a href="http://paperity.org" title="Paperity: Open Access journals and
articles">
Paperity</a>, the first multidisciplinary aggregator of Open Access journals and papers, has been launched. Paperity will connect authors with readers, boost dissemination of new discoveries and consolidate academia around open literature.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Right now, <a href="http://paperity.org" title="Paperity: Open
Access journals and articles">
Paperity</a> (<a href="http://paperity.org/">http://paperity.org/</a>) includes over 160,000 open articles, "gold" and "hybrid", from 2,000 scholarly journals, and growing. The goal of the team is to cover - with the support of journal editors and publishers
- 100% of Open Access literature in 3 years from now. In order to achieve this, Paperity utilizes an original technology for article indexing, designed by Marcin Wojnarski, a data geek from Poland and a medalist of the International Mathematical Olympiad.
This technology indexes only true peer-reviewed scholarly papers and filters out irrelevant entries, which easily make it into other aggregators and search engines.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The amount of scholarly literature has grown enormously in the last decades. Successful dissemination became a big issue. New tools are needed to help readers access vast amounts of literature dispersed all over the web and to
help authors reach their target audience. Moreover, research is interdisciplinary now and scholars need broad access to literature from many fields, also from outside of their core research area. This is the reason why Paperity covers all subjects, from Sciences,
Technology, Medicine, through Social Sciences, to Humanities and Arts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">- <i>There are lots of great articles out there which report new significant findings, yet attract no attention, only because they are hard to find. No more than top 10% of research institutions have good access to communication
channels and can share their findings efficiently. The remaining 90%, especially authors from developing countries and early-career researchers, start from a much lower stand and often stay unnoticed despite high quality of their work</i> – says Wojnarski.
He adds that it is not by accident that Paperity partners right now with the EU Contest for Young Scientists, the biggest science fair in Europe. With the help of Paperity, the Contest wants to improve dissemination of discoveries authored by its participants
– top young talents from all over the continent.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Paperity is the first service of this kind. The most similar existing website, PubMed Central, aggregates open journals, too, but is limited to life sciences alone. Another related service, the Directory of Open Access Journals,
does index articles from multiple periodicals and different disciplines, but does not provide aggregation, only pure indexing: it shows metadata of articles, but for fulltext access redirects to external sites. Moreover, both PMC and DOAJ impose strict technical
requirements on participating journals, which limits the scope of aggregation. Paperity adapts to whatever technology a given periodical employs.<o:p></o:p></p>
