Literature search

Type a query the way you would say it — an author, a few words of the title, a topic, a year or a range. The right query is built for each database and the results appear below, on this page.

Recognised automatically: surnames, quoted titles, experiment names, arXiv identifiers, and dates written as 2019-2023, 2019->2023, since 2020, before 2015, last 3 years, March 2024. You can also be explicit with a:Lisi, t:"neutrino masses", and c:T2K for papers signed by a collaboration rather than about it.

Refine the interpreted fields
Separate several with a semicolon.
Membership, not subject. An experiment name typed in the box above is treated as a topic instead — use c:T2K to force this field.

Results are filtered to physics: OpenAlex is asked for Physical Sciences only, Semantic Scholar for Physics, and a record found only by the generic databases must actually contain your query terms. Google Scholar has no public search API, and NASA ADS's requires a personal token — use the buttons below to open the same query there.

How it works

The query you type is parsed in your browser into structured fields — author, title, topic, collaboration, date range — which are shown as chips so you can see exactly how the sentence was understood, and corrected by hand if the guess was wrong. Each database then receives a query in its own syntax: INSPIRE's a Lisi and t "modular" and de 2023->2025, Crossref's query.author with from-pub-date filters, OpenAlex's filter= expressions.

Everything happens in your browser. This site runs no server-side code, so the requests go directly from you to the databases: nothing you type is sent to, logged by, or stored on global-nu.org.

How arXiv is reached. A browser may read a remote API only if that API sends the appropriate CORS header, and export.arxiv.org does not — a direct call from this page would be refused by the browser before you saw anything. But arXiv registers a DOI for every preprint with DataCite, under the 10.48550/arXiv.* prefix, and DataCite's API does send CORS and needs no key. So the arXiv results here are arXiv's own metadata, deposited by arXiv, fetched from the one place a browser is allowed to read it.

Why not NASA ADS. Its search API is public and documented, but it requires a personal token, which would have to be published in the page source to work — so for ADS the parsed query is turned into a correct search URL and offered as a button instead.

Results are capped at 20 per database, and every outbound link opens in a new tab, so you never lose your place here.
