Jurn Explained

Jurn is a free online search tool for the finding and downloading of free full-text scholarly works. It was established by David Haden in a public online open beta version in February 2009,[1] initially for finding open access electronic journal articles in the arts and humanities. An additional public directory of web links to the indexed journals was placed online in mid 2009.[2] The Jurn search service and directory has since been continually updated and cleaned.[3] In March 2014 Jurn expanded to index topics in science, biomedicine, business and economics, plus selected university repository services for open access deposit papers and full-text theses.[4] Jurn is powered by a Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) and is run without any adverts.

LiLi Li of Georgia Southern University described Jurn as a "recognised academic search engine" in his 2014 book Scholarly Information Discovery in the Networked Academic Learning Environment, and included a paragraph describing the Jurn service.[5] Jurn also has a descriptive entry in Marcus P. Zillman's annotated White Paper "Academic and Scholar Search Engines and Sources".[6] In 2015 University of Maryland librarian Matthew Testa tested JURN alongside Google Scholar and he concluded that... "JURN can be an effective way to find OA [open access] content from a variety of sources".[7]

At 2016 Jurn is web linked by a number of academic and government libraries, including the Central Library of the European Commission,[8] Jesus College, University of Cambridge,[9] University of California[10] and Princeton University Library.[11]

GRAFT (Global Repository Access Full-Text), powered by a Google Custom Search Engine (CSE), searches across full-text and records alike, in 4,765 repositories.[12]
