Dimensions AI

Dimensions AI is the comprehensive scientific research database from Digital Science combining 164 million publications, 170 million patents, 938,000 clinical trials, 8.1 million grants, 42 million datasets, 2.5 million policy documents, and 280 million online citations into a unified linked-data research platform serving government, nonprofits, industry, pharma, academic institutions, and publishers. Founded as a product line by Digital Science (a leading research intelligence company), Dimensions has grown into one of the largest interconnected research databases globally with positioning as the "most advanced scientific research database" combining breadth of data types with linked-data architecture for cross-domain analysis. Pricing is enterprise-only with no public self-serve tier for full-featured access, though Dimensions offers a free tier (Dimensions Free) with limited capabilities for individual researchers. Public benchmarks place typical institutional Dimensions deployments in the $10,000-$100,000+ per year range depending on institution size, modules selected (Publications, Patents, Clinical Trials, Grants, Datasets, Policy Documents), and API access. The platform serves academic institutions, government research agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and publishers globally. Dimensions' differentiation versus Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed is the breadth of linked data types combined with the integrated discovery experience: rather than focusing primarily on academic publications (Web of Science, Scopus pattern) or biomedical literature (PubMed pattern), Dimensions integrates publications, patents, clinical trials, grants, datasets, policy documents, and citations into a single linked-data graph. This produces materially better cross-domain research analysis for government, pharma, and policy use cases that require connecting research outputs across these data types. Dimensions AI capabilities include comprehensive research database access (164M+ publications), patent search (170M+), clinical trial tracking (938K+), grant funding analysis (8.1M+), policy document discovery (2.5M+), dataset linkage (42M+), citation network analysis (280M+ online citations), AI-powered research analytics, and API access. The platform serves government agencies, nonprofits, pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, and publishers globally. Dimensions operates under SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and broader research compliance.
