What is Paper Search Hub?
Paper Search Hub is a free, static reference tool for finding scholarly venues. It indexes 30,479 journals from a title and ISO-4 abbreviation index, plus a curated set of 381 journals and 137 conferences — real venues like Nature, Science, and NeurIPS — each with metrics such as Impact Factor and CORE rank.
How does it work?
All data ships as static JSON with the site. The 542-entry curated catalogue is bundled with the app and renders immediately; a 30,479-entry journal index is then fetched once from the same site and merged in. Search matches the venue name and its abbreviation — substring, case-insensitive, full-width normalized, diacritics stripped (Schrödinger matches schrodinger).
When should I use it?
Use it to look up a journal's Impact Factor, ISSN, or publisher; check a conference's CORE rank, acceptance rate, or founding year; or compare venues across a field. It works offline once loaded and never sends your queries anywhere, so it suits private literature scouting and venue selection.
