core
CORE (https://core.ac.uk/) aims to aggregate all open access research outputs from repositories and journals worldwide and make these available to the public through a set of services including search, API and analytical tools. As of April 2017, CORE offers seamless access to 70,251,799 open access articles. CORE harvests, maintains, enriches and makes available metadata and full-text content (typically a PDF).
Developed by the Knowledge Management Institute at the Open University, CORE came top in a recent list of top 21 freely available online journal and research databases for academics; https://www.scribendi.com/advice/free_online_journal_and_research_databases.en.html
Hello all,
As previously updated, following our extensive analysis and assessments of the complexity for both Ex Libris and CORE to provide and display this content on the necessary level of quality and currency, we will not ingest the CORE content.
At this stage there is no change to this status and our decision, though we do routinely review the request. We will reopen the request should anything change.
We continue to be interested in ingesting this type of content and are continuously working with providers to promote this activity.
Best,
Rael

This was announced back in 2017, but heard nothing since...

It'd be useful if Core OA collection (https://core.ac.uk/) is available for search in CDI.

Curious about this request to add content from BASE, CORE, unpaywall etc. Is this envisioned as something we can activate in Primo/Alma collections and it will add all the content from these databases into the index?
Wouldn't that be a ton of data, a lot if it irrelevant - by subject or worse language? Is it planned to allow us to activate subsets of Unpaywall database?
Or have I misunderstoof this request and this doesnt not add new content but mere points to alternative OA version if available?

This looks like a duplicate of the following, which has been Planned for 18 months!
I'm adding my votes though as this is something we'd like.

JISC has developed a system called CORE (COnnecting REpositories) that aggregates Open Access content from repositories and journals from around the world. More information is available here: https://www.jisc.ac.uk/core.
This could be a very useful addition to the Summon and Primo indexes. -

I don't have any votes left but would definitely support this!
