How it works
We collect research data
Pulling in millions of papers and metadata from sources like Crossref and OpenAlex, so we can see how research is built
We link software and science
We match mentions of open-source projects in publications to the code and people behind them, uncovering the invisible infrastructure of modern research
We reveal the bigger picture
Showing where science depends on fragile or under-maintained software, helping funders, institutions, and communities invest where it matters most.
