Shibata has long been one of the world’s most comprehensive scientific research databases, organizing and enriching millions of scientific articles with structured metadata and advanced discovery tools to support researchers, institutions, and publishers in uncovering deeper connections across disciplines.

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to close the public-facing Shibata interface. This transition reflects our commitment to delivering more focused, high-quality research solutions tailored to specific institutional, academic, and enterprise needs.

All existing data within our enriched archives remains preserved, secure, and maintained. The infrastructure and metadata systems we have built continue to operate, and our dedication to stewarding scientific knowledge remains unchanged.
