Springer Nature and The Lens have announced a major partnership that will give better insights into how academic research and data can accelerate innovative problem solving with economic and social outcomes. By better connecting science, investment and enterprise open data, the partnership aims to provide the insight needed by diverse stakeholders to coordinate their capabilities to deliver evidence-based action for climate change and other global challenges.
Through this partnership, The Lens’ open knowledge platform of hundreds of millions of patents and publications will be further linked with Springer Nature’s database of tens of millions of pieces of scholarly literature.
The Lens will index full text and abstracts from Springer Nature’s over 12 million research works. These will sit alongside the full portfolio of patent and scholarly works data from the Lens, including the citation links between patents and cited scholarly works, as well as the full open scholarly citation graph. Hence, it would be possible to obtain deeper metrics, analytics and insights for all sectors and institutions globally, with an equitable access policy and commitment to user privacy.
