The Scholarly Database (SDB) at Indiana University aims to serve researchers and practitioners interested in the analysis, modeling, and visualization of large-scale scholarly datasets. The online interface at http://sdb.cns.iu.edu provides access to four datasets: MEDLINE papers, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office patents (USPTO), National Science Foundation (NSF) funding, and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding – over 25 million records in total. Users can register for free to cross-search these databases and to download result sets as dumps for scientometrics research and science policy practice.
