Uncovering hidden data reuse: New AI technology from DataSeer improves the ability to measure the downstream impact of research data - DataSeer DataSeer's Data Reuse LLM makes data a measurable, first-class research output, whose influence can be tracked beyond the paper in which it first appeared.

95% of data re-use is invisible using traditional citation-based detection methods. We're changing that.

The Data Reuse LLM analyzes articles to detect reuse even when references are incomplete, indirect, or unstructured.

University journal publishers – global, messy and underestimated - LSE Impact Despite being systematically underestimated university presses are a widespread and structurally significant part of the journal publishing landscape.

👀ICYMI: "We tend to picture publishing as something done by large commercial companies, big learned societies or a handful of famous university presses. But universities also publish at scale, across disciplines and in many languages."
