Dimensions is a linked research database connecting publications, grants, patents, clinical trials and policy documents with AI-assisted discovery.
Dimensions maps the whole research lifecycle: publications link to the grants that funded them, the patents they produced, the trials they informed and the policies that cited them. This linked view supports discovery, funding analysis and impact assessment that fragmented databases cannot match. AI features surface relevant research, summarize fields and support natural-language queries over the corpus. Free and paid access levels serve everyone from students to national research agencies.
Dimensions has a free version with rich search; paid Analytics editions add benchmarking, exports and organizational features.
Researchers, research offices and analysts who need discovery and impact analysis that goes beyond publications alone.
Research offices benchmark their institution’s output and funding, and grant applicants trace who funds adjacent work. Analysts follow technology areas from papers through patents to clinical impact.
