CORE provides access to an estimated 231M free to read full text research papers with 33M full texts hosted directly by CORE

It's the biggest collection of open access full texts, making it an unparalleled research tool.

Aspiring for completeness

While other bibliographic databases only include scholarly works with registered DOIs, CORE is able to find and index in addition scholarly works without them. In fact, about half of CORE’s works do not have a DOI. Those works are missing in most other scholarly databases, making CORE truly unique and a necessity for any service that cannot afford to omit important studies.
