INSPIRE-HEP
INSPIRE-HEP is an open access digital library for the field of
high energy physics (HEP). It is the successor of the Stanford Physics Information Retrieval System (SPIRES) database,[1]
the main literature database for high energy physics since the 1970s.
History
SPIRES was (in addition to the CERN Document Server (CDS),
arXiv.org,[4] Particle Data Group,[5] NASA's Astrophysics Data System.[6] and HEPdata.[7] In April 2010, a beta version of INSPIRE-HEP was freely accessible,[8] in April 2012, it fully replaced SPIRES.[9] A new and upgraded INSPIRE platform was officially released in March 2020.[10]
Content
INSPIRE-HEP combines the SPIRES-HEP database content with the open source digital library software Invenio[11] and the content of the CERN Document server.[8] In addition to scientific papers, INSPIRE-HEP provides other information such-as citation metrics,[12] plots extracted from papers or internal experiment notes[13][14] and tools for users to improve metadata like crowdsourcing for author disambiguation.[15] As of August 2012, INSPIRE-HEP contains 1.1 million records. INSPIRE provides not only a literature database for the field of High-Energy Physics, but for other HEP-related services:
- HEPNames: a comprehensive directory of people involved in High-Energy Physics[16]
- Institutions: a database compiling over 7000 institutes related to the HEP field; included in the information about each institute is a link to all the papers in INSPIRE-HEP that are associated with the institution as well as a list of people (taken from HEPNames)
- Conferences: a collection of HEP meetings and conferences
- Jobs: a listing of academic and research jobs of interest to the community in high energy physics, nuclear physics, accelerator physics and astrophysics
- Experiments: a database containing summaries of HEP and HEP-related experiments from different labs and locations around the world
