We’re pleased to announce that Elsevier has become the newest customer of Impactstory’s Unpaywall Data Feed, which provides a weekly feed of changes in Unpaywall, our open database of 20 million open access articles. Elsevier will use the Unpaywall database to make open access content easier to find on Scopus.

Elsevier joins Clarivate Analytics, Digital Science, Zotero, and many other organizations as paying subscribers to the Data Feed.  Paying subscribers provide sustainability for Unpaywall, and fund the many free ways to access Unpaywall data, including complete database snapshots as well as our open API, Simple Query Tool, and browser extension. We’re proud that thousands of academic libraries and other institutions, as well as over 150,000 individual extension users, are using these free tools.

Impactstory’s mission is to help all people access all research products. Adding Elsevier as a Data Feed customer helps us further that mission. Specifically, the new agreement injects OA from our index into the workflows of the many Scopus users worldwide, helping them find and use open research they may never have seen before. So, we’re happy to welcome Elsevier as our latest Data Feed customer.
