From data collection to intelligent analysis, how does CORE help the academic community usher in a new era?
With the advancement of science and technology, there are more and more research materials and information sources in academia. How to effectively integrate this information and provide the best access method has become a hot topic at present. The CORE (Connecting Repositories) platform was born to solve this problem. As a service from the Open University Knowledge Media Institute, CORE aims to aggregate open access content from around the world and provide free access services through rich data mining technology to promote open access to academic results.
"CORE's mission is to make it easy for everyone to access and utilize academic materials and promote the sharing and innovation of knowledge."
Service Introduction
There are many commercial academic search systems currently on the market, such as Google Scholar. Although they can provide search and access services, they lack programmable machine access to content. This limits further reuse of open access content, such as text and data mining. CORE features three levels of content access: paper-based access, analytical access, and programmable machine access to data. This gives CORE a clear advantage in the acquisition and use of open access materials.
Historical introduction
The first version of CORE was launched in 2011 to make it easier for researchers to access and text mine a large number of research publications. Its pioneering content recommendation system was first based on the concept of literature discovery, showing the value of gathering data. Over time, CORE has grown and now has documentation from 102 countries and 52 languages, becoming the UK's national aggregator of open access content.
"CORE's success benefits from the support of many funding agencies, such as Jisc and the European Commission."
Programmable access to data
CORE data is very convenient to obtain. Users can access it through API, or download it for pre-processing and semantically rich data aggregation. This flexible acquisition method allows researchers to easily apply these materials to various studies, opening up a new model of data reuse.
Search for CORE
CORE's database has more than 125 million open-access research results, all of which are free to download and have very limited restrictions on their reuse. Users can find what they need through efficient faceted search. In addition, CORE also provides a cross-database recommendation system based on full text, so that users can quickly find relevant literature even among numerous open access materials.
Analysis using CORE data
CORE's data provides opportunities to develop new analytical services. For example, these data can be used to monitor research growth trends, verify open access compliance, and even develop new automated metrics to evaluate research superiority. According to statistics from the Open Access Database, the number of institutions receiving funding has increased year by year, which has prompted more open access to research results.
Application
CORE currently provides eight applications, including CORE API, CORE Dataset, CORE Recommender, CORE Repository Dashboard, CORE Analytics Dashboard, CORE Search, CORE Publisher Connector and CORE SDKs, etc. These tools help manage and analyze the use of academic materials. situation and improve the efficiency of data analysis in academia.
"CORE is not only a database, but also a core platform that promotes academic and knowledge sharing."
Future Outlook
With the continued development of CORE, more specific functions and applications will appear in the future to further meet the growing needs of the academic community. Through data-driven research methods, CORE may play a more critical role in reshaping the way academic research is conducted.
In this era of information explosion, how can the academic community use platforms like CORE to promote knowledge sharing and innovation, and promote the progress of scientific research?
