About ScholarLib ​

A curated, open-access scholarly library of Computer Science, Economics & Management papers. Browse, search, and cite — without paywalls.

Mission ​

ScholarLib exists to solve three persistent problems in academic work:

1. Discovery — Finding the most important papers in a field is hard. Google Scholar is noisy, arXiv is unfiltered, and most journal sites hide papers behind paywalls.
2. Access — When you finally find a paper, getting a full-text copy is often impossible without institutional access.
3. Citation — Citing papers correctly is tedious, and missing fields break your bibliography.

ScholarLib provides curated, organized, and downloadable open-access papers — with ready-to-use BibTeX citations.

History ​

ScholarLib was formed by merging an earlier Economics & Management project:

• ScholarLib-EM — Economics & Management paper library (18 fields, 2020 – 2026). Merged in 2026.

The legacy EM repository is now archived. Its content has been migrated here under a unified structure:

papers/
├── computer-science/      # 33 CS topics, organized by topic → year
└── economics-management/  # 18 EM fields, organized by year → field
