Microsoft Academic is a free public web search engine for academic publications and literature, developed by Microsoft Research. Re-launched in 2016, the tool features an entirely new data structure and search engine using semantic search technologies. It currently indexes over 260 million publications,[1] 88 million of which are journal articles.[1]
The Academic Knowledge API offers information retrieval from the underlying database using REST endpoints for advanced research purposes.[2] The search engine provides not only search results and access to sources but also citation information that include the number of sources, g-index, and h-index.[3] Aside from academic publications, it is also used to find websites that contain state and local records.[4]
The service replaces the earlier Microsoft research project, Microsoft Academic Search, which ended development in 2012.[5] The platform was developed in 2009 of the Microsoft Research branch in Asia and the project was headed by Zaiqing Nie.[6]
Preliminary reviews by bibliometricians suggest the new Microsoft Academic Search is a competitor to Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus for academic research purposes[7][8] as well as citation analysis.[9][10][11]
On May 4, 2021, Microsoft announced that the Microsoft Academic website and APIs would be retired on December 31, 2021.[12]
