The General Index is a publicly available index to a collection of 107 million academic journal articles.[1][2] It consists of a table of n-grams derived from the full text of the articles along with tables of associated keywords and metadata.[3] It is intended to facilitate computerized analysis of the scientific literature, which has been hindered by widespread copyright restrictions limiting access by researchers to the full text.
The initial version, comprising the raw database tables without any search engine front-end, was released by the Internet Archive on October 7, 2021.[1]
