Scholia

This Toolforge instance of Scholia currently only has access to part of the data. There will be changes in the week of January 20th 2026 regarding the WDQS graph split and sunsetting of the legacy service. There is a qlever.scholia.wiki mirror running with QLever as backend with the full Wikidata content. This mirror is part of an evaluation of alternatives to Blazegraph.

Scholia relies on Wikidata, and Wikidata contains only a limited albeit growing subset of the corpus of scholarly literature, its authors and citations. Read more about the limitations in the FAQ or check the statistics.
