Why We Built This
For most people — students, independent researchers, medical professionals, journalists, and curious minds — accessing scientific literature means hitting paywalls, navigating clunky university portals, or paying hundreds of dollars for a single PDF.
Ocean of Papers was built to change that. We aggregate the world's largest open-access scientific databases into one clean, fast interface. Search once, find papers across six major databases, access PDFs directly, visualize citation networks, and export your references — completely free.
The name reflects the idea that scientific knowledge is an ocean: vast, deep, and full of discoveries worth making. We give you a way to navigate it.
