The federated vertical search portal www.scitopia.org was recently created through the imagination and collaboration of 15 leading science and technology societies.

Searching for a better way to help researchers quickly get to the quality content they need, these society publishers developed a gateway to the research most cited in scholarly work and patents. Scitopia.org searches the entire electronic libraries of the leading voices in major science and technology disciplines and provides relevant results, without the noise of other Internet search engines. More than three million documents, including peer-reviewed journal content and technical conference papers, spanning 150 years of science and technology can be searched through the site.

Participants in the project include:
Acoustical Society of America
American Geophysical Union
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
American Institute of Physics
American Physical Society
American Society of Civil Engineers
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
American Vacuum Society
The Electrochemical Society
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
Institute of Physics Publishing
Optical Society of America
Society of Automotive Engineers
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
SPIE

Scitopia.org is powered by Deep Web Technologies' Explorit Research Accelerator federated search engine.
