Essentially, The Lens is a citation database of diverse open knowledge sets.
The Lens at its core is an aggregator of metadata, combining three unique content sets and one management tool as a base offering. This base supports the four primary functions of the Lens, which are to discover, analyse, manage and share knowledge.
Scholarly Works: Discovery and analytics tools providing access to a global corpus of scholarly literature metadata with citation indexing.
Patents: Discovery and analytics tools on a comprehensive collection of patent literature with citation indexing.
PatSeq: A facility to search and analyze biological sequences disclosed in patent literature.
Collections: A management tool to track, monitor, and analyze a collection of works or a collection of patents dynamically or statically.
The Lens ingests, cleans, aggregates, normalizes and serves over 225+ million scholarly works, 127+ million global patent records, and more than 370+ million patent sequences, with rich metadata including the people and institutions that generate this knowledge and the linkages between them, drawn from diverse data sources:
