Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered search engine for academic literature, developed by the Allen Institute for AI (AI2), a non-profit research institute. Its core mission is to accelerate scientific discovery by making research more accessible and comprehensible to a global audience. The platform indexes and analyzes millions of academic papers across various scientific fields, utilizing artificial intelligence to extract key information, identify influential research, and provide personalized recommendations. Key features include advanced search filters, citation analysis (e.g., highly influential citations), paper summarization, and topic exploration. As a project of a non-profit organization, Semantic Scholar operates without charging its users, and its 'business model' is centered on providing a public good to the scientific community, funded by its parent organization's endowments and grants.
