Data for digital research and infrastructure is scattered across dozens of platforms. PRSM connects the graph — publications, software, people, institutions, dependencies — and reveals what no single source can show you.
OpenAlex tracks research. GitHub tracks code. Ecosyste.ms tracks packages. Lens tracks patents, and so on. No platform connects it all.
The software you rely on has its own dependencies — and behind each one, contributors doing essential work that never surfaces in your tools or your reports.
Impact isn’t a metric, it’s a lens. Use, utility, community, connectivity: each dimension tells a different story, and the story changes depending on who’s looking and what they need to see.
One view across all your publications and repositories, with impact metrics, dependency analysis, community health scores, and more — all computed and cached for instant exploration.
Map every dependency across your software — including hidden ones detected through binary symbol analysis that don’t appear in manifest files. See the full supply chain.
Know which projects are at risk before they fail. Bus factor analysis, contributor retention trends, activity patterns, and Research Software Champion identification.
Interactive graphs connecting publications, software, people, and institutions across your entire portfolio. Eleven node types, ten edge types, hundreds of thousands of relationships.
See the full connected picture of what you’ve funded. Trace dependency chains. Identify community health risks before they become crises.
Tell the complete story of your institution’s output. Discover every repository and collaboration your people have contributed to. Measure impact beyond citations.
Tell the story of your ecosystem’s impact — citation reach, institutional adoption, dependency influence. Monitor health and sustainability across every project.
Explore the shared knowledge graph. Discover projects, people, and connections across digital research and infrastructure. Contribute attestations. Build and share analytical tools.
Click into any portfolio to explore real data — publications, repositories, citation networks, dependency graphs, and community health metrics.
Define your own scoring formulas to measure what matters to your organization. Share them with the community or keep them internal.
Upload internal data and analyze it against the public graph — without exposing what you uploaded.
Automatically find all software affiliated with your organization across platforms.
Model what happens when a critical dependency fails or a key maintainer leaves.
PRSM is a shared commons — a knowledge graph that gets smarter with every user, every data source, and every contribution. The data, the quality signals, and the analytical tools are all built by and shared with the community.
Every portfolio you create enriches the database for everyone. Publications, software, people, institutions, and dependencies flow into a single connected map of digital research and infrastructure that grows with every user.
PRSM integrates with an ever-growing set of APIs — from OpenAlex and GitHub to Ecosyste.ms, Lens, and beyond. As new sources come online, existing entities are automatically re-enriched with deeper context.
Users validate, rate, and annotate entities in the graph — confirming affiliations, flagging inaccuracies, and attesting to the quality of the projects they know best. The community builds a trust layer that makes the data more reliable for everyone.
Users build custom impact and health scoring algorithms tuned to their context, then share them with the community. Over time, PRSM develops a growing library of analytical lenses anyone can apply to their own portfolios.
PRSM is built and maintained by one person. The platform works today, but opening it up will be slow and deliberate. Scaling requires more resources and expertise than one person can provide. If you're a funder who wants to use and shape this infrastructure, let's talk.
We're rolling out to a small group of individuals. Sign up to be among the first to upload your own data and build portfolios.
