Detect open access versions of articles, unlock free, legal scholarly PDFs.
The Unpaywall formerly oaDOI system is the brainchild of Heather Piwowar and Jason Priem, co-founders of Impactstory, and is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The staff looks for open access copies of articles in print through search databases such as the Directory of Open Access Journals and BASE OA. They also search repository pages and journal articles to determine whether a free PDF exists. It indexes millions of articles and delivers open-access full-text versions over an open API. The MIT Libraries are excited to offer this new path to access scholarly content.
