Guide The open-access repository providers, the open-source foundations and the standards bodies resmon is built on.

resmon is built on top of a broad ecosystem of open-access scholarly repositories and open-source software. The project gratefully acknowledges:

Open-Access Repository Providers

The scholarly sources registered in the repository catalog, whose public APIs make automated literature surveillance possible:

  • arXiv — Cornell University / arXiv.org, for the Atom XML API and the decades-long commitment to open preprint distribution in physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, statistics, electrical engineering, and economics.
  • bioRxiv and medRxiv — openRxiv, for the date-range JSON API serving the life- and health-sciences communities.
  • CORE — The Open University / Jisc, for the aggregated open-access JSON API spanning tens of thousands of repositories worldwide.
  • CrossRef — Crossref, for the DOI-indexed REST API and the “polite pool” that rewards well-behaved clients with priority rate limits.
  • DataCite — DataCite, for the public DOI metadata REST API. Metadata from DataCite.
  • DBLP — Schloss Dagstuhl / University of Trier, for the computer-science bibliography REST API.
  • Dryad — Dryad, for the dataset search API and its ORCID-bearing author records.
  • DOAJ — Directory of Open Access Journals / Infrastructure Services for Open Access C.I.C., for the journal- and article-level JSON API covering open-access journals across disciplines.
  • ERIC — Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, for the public education-research API.
  • EuropePMC — EMBL-EBI on behalf of the Europe PMC Consortium, for the biomedical and life-sciences REST API.
  • GovInfo — U.S. Government Publishing Office, for the GovInfo Search Service and its official bibliographic fields.
  • HAL — CCSD / CNRS, for the Solr-backed multi-disciplinary JSON API.
  • INSPIRE-HEP — CERN and the INSPIRE collaboration, for the curated high-energy-physics literature API.
  • NASA ADS — Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory / NASA Astrophysics Data System, for the Solr-backed astronomy, astrophysics, and planetary-science API.
  • NDL Search — National Diet Library, Japan, for the SRU open-metadata API. Powered by NDL Search API. Metadata provided by the National Diet Library and its contributing databases and institutions.
  • NIST Resource Metadata Management — National Institute of Standards and Technology, for the RMM paper-search API. Data created by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).
  • OpenAIRE — the OpenAIRE partnership, for the multi-disciplinary scholarly-graph Search API.
  • OpenAlex — OurResearch, for the free, comprehensive scholarly-works REST API and the mailto-based polite-pool rate tier.
  • Open Library — Internet Archive, for the public work-metadata search API.
  • OSTI.GOV — Office of Scientific and Technical Information, U.S. Department of Energy, for the public research-record API. Courtesy of OSTI.GOV, U.S. Department of Energy.
  • PLOS — Public Library of Science, for the Solr-backed JSON API over the PLOS journal family.
  • PubMed / NCBI E-utilities — U.S. National Library of Medicine / National Center for Biotechnology Information, for the E-utilities suite that underpins biomedical literature retrieval.
  • Semantic Scholar — Allen Institute for AI (AI2), for the cross-disciplinary scholarly-graph REST API.
  • Springer Nature — Springer Nature, for the Meta API covering STM, humanities, and social-sciences content.
  • Zenodo — CERN and OpenAIRE, for the multi-disciplinary research-output records API.

Open-Source Foundations

resmon depends on and is grateful for the following open-source projects (non-exhaustive): Python, FastAPI, Starlette, Uvicorn, Pydantic, httpx, lxml, BeautifulSoup, SQLAlchemy, APScheduler, cryptography, keyring, NLTK, tiktoken, pytest, Electron, Node.js, React, React Router, TypeScript, Vite, electron-builder, and ollama. The maintainers and contributors of these projects make a desktop-class literature surveillance tool buildable by a single developer.

Standards and Identifiers

resmon relies on the DOI system administered by the International DOI Foundation and the ORCID identifier system — both of which underpin the deduplication and citation-graphing pipeline.
