What is Dimensions?

Digital Science's Dimensions is a dynamic, easy to use, linked-research data platform that re-imagines the way research can be discovered, accessed and analyzed. Within Dimensions, users can explore the connections between grants, publications, clinical trials, patents and policy documents.

For more information, see https://www.dimensions.ai/

For a detailed breakdown of the Dimensions on BigQuery product, see the technical documentation

What is Google BigQuery?

Google BigQuery is a scalable multi-cloud data warehouse environment that lowers the bar to professional-level data manipulation and analytics.

Google BigQuery allows users to combine Dimensions data with other proprietary and public data sources, without our involvement, in a completely private and secure way.
