INSPIRE-HEP: Difference between revisions

SPIRES was in addition to the CERN Document Server (CDS), [[arXiv]] and parts of [[Astrophysics Data System]] one of the main Particle Information Resources. A survey conducted in 2007 <ref>Gentil-Beccot, A., Mele S., Holtkamp, A., O’Connell, H., and Brooks, T.</ref> reached the result that the users of the SPIRES database wanted the portal to provide more services that at that time already 30-year-old system could provide. On the second annual Summit of Information Specialists in Particle Physics and Astrophysics in May 2008, the physics laboratories [[CERN]], [[DESY]], [[SLAC]] and [[Fermilab]] therefore announced that they will work together to create a new Scientific Information System for high energy physics called INSPIRE.<ref>http://www.interactions.org/cms/?pid=1026243</ref> It interacts with other HEP service providers like [[arXiv.org]],<ref>Warner, S., and Rieger, O. (2010)</ref> [[Particle Data Group]] <ref>http://www.interactions.org/cms/?pid=1031828</ref> and, [[NASA]]'s [[Astrophysics Data System]].<ref>http://www.computerweekly.com/feature/In-search-of-the-Big-Bang</ref> and HEPdata.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indico.cern.ch/event/557956/contributions/2469751/|title=Invenio User Group Workshop 2017|website=Indico|access-date=2020-04-05}}</ref> In April 2010, a beta version of INSPIRE-HEP was freely accessible,<ref name="quantumdiaries" /> in April 2012, it fully replaced SPIRES.<ref>http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breaking/2012/05/24/physicists-start-your-searches-inspire-database-now-online/</ref> A new, upgraded and feature-packed INSPIRE platform was officially released in March 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://home.cern/news/news/knowledge-sharing/next-generation-inspire-here|title=The next generation of INSPIRE is here!|last=|first=|date=30 March 2020|website=CERN|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-04-05}}</ref>

INSPIRE-HEP combines the SPIRES-HEP database content with the open source digital library software [[Invenio]]<ref>http://heise.de/-209136</ref> and the content of the CERN Document server.<ref name="quantumdiaries">http://www.quantumdiaries.org/2009/12/23/hep-literature-databases-to-be-inspired-in-2010/</ref> In addition to scientific papers, INSPIRE-HEP provides other information like citation metrics,<ref>http://www.quantumdiaries.org/2012/08/02/the-destiny-of-boson-observation-papers/</ref> plots extracted from papers or internal experiment notes<ref>Gülzow, V., and Kemp, Y. (2012)</ref><ref>DPHEP Study Group (2012)</ref> and tools for users to improve metadata like [[crowdsourcing]] for author disambiguation.<ref>http://infocamp.ch/crowdsourcing-in-der-bibliothek/</ref> 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 hosts also other HEP-related services:
