The BA Insight Microsoft Academic Federated Connector integrates Microsoft Academic—a bibliographic database developed by Microsoft Research that indexes publications and journal articles—with internal enterprise search applications. It provides researchers and knowledge workers with a unified view of up-to-date information from both Microsoft Academic and all relevant internal sources.
With this connector, users can simultaneously search Microsoft Academic and internal content using the familiar BA Insight SmartHub interface, eliminating the need to search Microsoft Academic separately. It retrieves a single combined result set from over 90 content sources accessible via BA Insight connectors, allowing users to apply filters across all data sources to narrow search results.
