About
Discover research on a map.
OPTIMAP is a search platform for scientific publications based on articles with geospatial metadata, i.e. locations and time periods that are considered in a publication. OPTIMAP connects with journals, repositories, and preprint servers to put publications literally on a map to create new connections between research outputs across all scientific disciplines.
This site is running OPTIMAP version 0.24.0.
