Comparison

CORE (core.ac.uk) vs Unpaywall

Pick CORE (core.ac.uk) when

  • Academics needing full-text OA papers
  • Students avoiding paywalls
  • Developers text-mining via API
  • Librarians building OA discovery guides

When CORE (core.ac.uk) is not a fit

  • Anyone needing paywalled journal content
  • Casual searchers . Google Scholar already does this
  • Guess: teams wanting curated, quality-vetted papers only
