Methodology

Research Network Methodology

Verisium is the intelligence layer on top of the research record. Here's how the platform handles research data, provenance and access.

Indexing scholarly metadata

Verisium indexes scholarly research metadata and citation relationships from multiple sources — including Europe PMC, PubMed, OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, bioRxiv and medRxiv.

No hosted full text

Verisium does not host publisher PDFs or full-text articles. Abstracts and metadata are displayed for research navigation; users are directed to the original publication for full text.

Direct to original sources

Every "Read Article" link points directly to the legitimate original source or publisher — PubMed, the publisher's DOI landing page, or the preprint server — never to a Verisium-hosted copy.

Rights remain with rights holders

Publication rights, copyright and distribution rights remain with the respective rights holders — authors, publishers and repositories. Verisium facilitates discovery, not distribution.

Verisium indexes metadata and relationships. Full-text access is always through the original publisher or repository.
