What a legal research catalogue is for

Indexing bibliographic metadata is a modest-sounding task with outsized effects on who gets read.

AA Acadexon Administrator

A catalogue does not publish research. It makes research findable - which, for a small scholarly community writing in a language few databases index, is close to the same thing.

Discoverability is distribution

Work that cannot be found is, for practical purposes, unpublished. The gap is widest for scholarship written in Georgian, where the major international indexes offer limited coverage and no Georgian-language search.

This is the gap Acadexon is built to close: bibliographic records, in both languages, that link out to the publisher rather than competing with them.

This is original content published on Acadexon. It is not a peer-reviewed publication indexed in the catalogue.
