EIFL Webinar: The Lens

On 27th May we invite you to take part in a webinar about The Lens, a discovery platform that provides discovery, analytics and research management tools that are free to use.

The platform includes 111 million patent records as well as the metadata from over 200 million scholarly records, compiled and harmonized from Microsoft Academic, PubMed and Crossref, enhanced with UnPaywall open access information, CORE full text, and links to ORCID. It is open, meaning that there are no constraints to reuse the data displayed.

Date and time: 27 May 2020, at 12 p.m.
