What is Paper Search Hub?
Paper Search Hub is a free, static reference tool for finding scholarly venues. It indexes 125,000 entries (25,000 journals, 60,000 conferences, 40,000 proceedings) plus a curated set of real venues like Nature, Science, and NeurIPS, each with metrics such as Impact Factor and CORE rank.
How does it work?
All data ships as JSON bundled with the site. A compressed lite-index (loaded in chunks of 10,000) powers list and search; full detail records load on demand in chunks of 5,000. Search is substring, case-insensitive, normalizes full-width characters and strips diacritics (Schrödinger matches schrodinger).
When should I use it?
Use it to look up a journal's Impact Factor, ISSN, or publisher; check a conference's CORE rank, acceptance rate, or founding year; or compare venues across a field. It works offline once loaded and never sends your queries anywhere, so it suits private literature scouting and venue selection.
