Pluto Labs, Inc.(“we”, “us”, “our”, “ours”, “ourselves”, or “Pluto Labs”) aims to create a world without barriers to acquiring knowledge in academia. Our primary goal is establishing a data infrastructure related to publications. In this direction, we have built metadata databases for publications and developed a search engine for academic papers.
