[Rdap] FW: [CHMINF-L] Digital Science launches free researcher platform - dimensions.ai

[Minor, David]

The UCSD Library has been a beta tester for a while. We're going live with the production product for our campus this month. We plan to spend this year in tire-kicking mode with users to gauge interest and uptake.

Our experience with the Digital Science folks in this process has been good. Aside from the product itself, they've reiterated consistently their commitment to openness and transparency, and that in general, "This is your data. We make no ownership assertions on it and aren't going to monetize it via other uses."

Digital Science has always placed a focus on close collaboration with the scholarly community to develop and deliver solutions that will directly benefit the future of research; in creating Dimensions, we are empowering researchers, institutions, government, funders and publishers to redefine the ways in which scholarly work is discovered and evaluated.”
