Mi scuso per l'eventuale cross-posting.<br>
Da quello che ho capito, il progetto è ancora in una fase iniziale
(per es. non hanno ancora un piano economico e, per ora, indicizzano
solo le pubblicazioni Gold).<br>
Vedremo se riusciranno nel loro intento.<br>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>With the beginning of the new
academic year, <a moz-do-not-send="true" title="Paperity:
Open Access journals and articles"
href="http://paperity.org">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></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Right now, <a
moz-do-not-send="true" title="Paperity: Open Access journals
and articles" href="http://paperity.org">Paperity</a> (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
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.</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.</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.</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.</p>
