Open Access Policy
Science works best when everyone can read it. AllScience is built on the principle that knowledge should be accessible, not locked behind paywalls.
Our Commitment to Open Science
AllScience exists to make research accessible. Our free tier gives every user full search access to more than 250 million papers across 17 academic databases. You do not need to pay to find and read research. You do not need an institutional affiliation. If the knowledge is out there, you should be able to reach it.
Research published directly on AllScience is openly accessible to all readers. We do not place paywalls on AllScience-hosted content, and we believe that publicly funded research should be publicly available.
How It Works
Our open access model balances broad availability with respect for publishers and authors.
Free Search for Everyone
Every user gets full search access across our entire index of 250M+ papers. Browse abstracts, filter by field, date, and source, and save references to your library — all without a subscription.
No Paywalls on Our Content
Preprints and papers published through AllScience are freely readable by anyone. We host full text with permanent links so your work stays available.
CC-BY Licensing
User contributions — including published preprints, annotations, and reviews — are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY). Others can share and build on your work as long as they credit you.
Publisher Embargo Periods
We respect publisher embargo periods for content sourced from third-party databases. When a journal requires a waiting period before open access, we honor that timeline while making the metadata and abstract available immediately.
