About DeepDyve
DeepDyve was founded with the mission to make authoritative information more affordable and accessible to users who are “unaffiliated” with a large institution and therefore lack easy and affordable access to authoritative sources of information. We want to empower these information professionals by providing a convenient and cost effective service for accessing academic and professional research that is vital to fostering discovery and innovation.
Today there are over 250 million so-called knowledge workers throughout the world, of which less than 10% of them are associated with a large academic or corporate institution which provides all of their information needs. For the remaining 90%, these so-called “unaffiliated users” typically rely on Google to search for information, and this process is marked by frustration due to:
- the inefficiency of having to visit multiple sites to find the information vital to their research;
- the high prices, often hundreds of dollars for a single subscription or $30 or more for a single article, to access the full content beyond the Abstract; and
- the uncertainty, particularly for users in small to mid-sized businesses, that once a document is purchased, the information in the article does not ultimately meet their needs.
With DeepDyve's rental service, we hope to address these challenges. First, by aggregating millions of premier articles in one place, you can register just once and from there, all your articles are just 1-click away. Second, thru our innovative rental service, we allow you to read-only the full article from our site for a fraction the cost of purchasing the PDF; and finally, once you’ve read the article, you can purchase it later with the assurance that it contains exactly what you are looking for.
DeepDyve was started in 2009 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California with offices in Shanghai, China. The company is privately held and is backed by high profile angel investors.
