CoolCite is an innovative global portal for scholars and scholarship. It started with a basic insight, namely that each scholar manages his or her individual CV, but the data in those text files is mostly lost because they are disconnected from other CVs and from a common database. Consequently, current "global" databases of scholarship are limited because they use partial information from publishers and institutions rather than directly from scholars. Consequently, a lot of information on academic activities and products is lost, and available data is biased toward some countries and languages.
