INSPIRE-HEP

Last updated

INSPIRE-HEP is an open access digital library for the field of high energy physics (HEP). It is the successor of the Stanford Physics Information Retrieval System (SPIRES) database, [1] the main literature database for high energy physics since the 1970s.

History

SPIRES was (in addition to the CERN Document Server (CDS), arXiv and parts of Astrophysics Data System) one of the main Particle Information Resources. A survey conducted in 2007 [2] found that SPIRES database users wanted the portal to provide more services than the, at that time, already 30-year-old system could provide. On the second annual Summit of Information Specialists in Particle Physics and Astrophysics in May 2008, the physics laboratories CERN, DESY, SLAC and Fermilab therefore announced that they would work together to create a new Scientific Information System for high energy physics called INSPIRE. [3] It interacts with other HEP service providers like arXiv.org, [4] Particle Data Group, [5] NASA's Astrophysics Data System. [6] and HEPdata. [7] In April 2010, a beta version of INSPIRE-HEP was freely accessible, [8] in April 2012, it fully replaced SPIRES. [9] A new and upgraded INSPIRE platform was officially released in March 2020. [10]

Content

INSPIRE-HEP combines the SPIRES-HEP database content with the open source digital library software Invenio [11] and the content of the CERN Document server. [8] In addition to scientific papers, INSPIRE-HEP provides other information such-as citation metrics, [12] plots extracted from papers or internal experiment notes [13] [14] and tools for users to improve metadata like crowdsourcing for author disambiguation. [15] As of August 2012, INSPIRE-HEP contains 1.1 million records. INSPIRE provides not only a literature database for the field of High-Energy Physics, but for other HEP-related services:

The Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (or SCOAP3) is an international collaboration in the high-energy physics community to convert traditional closed access physics journals to open access, freely available for everyone to read and reuse, shifting away the burden of the publishing cost from readers (traditional model) and authors (in the case of hybrid open access journals). Under the terms of the agreement, authors retain copyrights and the articles published under SCOAP3 will be in perpetuity under a CC BY license. The initiative was promoted by CERN in collaboration with international partners.
