How is Dewey different?

Dewey is built to bring data exclusively to the academic market. Everything from the platform to the documentation is tailored specifically for researchers. As a team of data experts, Dewey moves quickly to ensure users get what they need and have a seamless experience on the platform.

Unique data

Access data historically untapped by the academic community due to the difficulty licensing or expensive prices. The cost to access just one dataset directly from a vendor often exceeds the total price of a Dewey subscription.

Dewey provides data companies an opportunity to easily reach the academic market. This ensures that new data will continue to be added to the platform (we've more than doubled the available data in the past year!).

Straightforward license

Unlike other platforms used for academic data licensing, Dewey’s subscription unlocks data from all of our providers with one license and no limits on downloads or academic usage. Our pricing is straightforward and transparent, allowing researchers to work around tight budget and grant proposals.
