Consensus Academic Search (OAuth)

Consensus's official hosted academic search service: search peer-reviewed papers by question with filters for year, study type, journal, sample size, citations, open access and more, returning ranked results with links and abstracts. Authorized by the host via OAuth (dynamic client registration + PKCE); a free Consensus account is enough.

Compatibility
Needs configuration · Teloa >=0.2.0-alpha.6 · DSH 0.1.7-rc.1
  • The owner must complete OAuth authorization in a browser with a Consensus account from Market → Connections; server deployments must set oauth.publicCallbackUrl in the config file
  • Authorization-server metadata confirms dynamic client registration (token_endpoint_auth_method none) and PKCE S256, and only the search scope is requested; the loopback callback and the resource parameter (the server declares the site root) have not been tested yet
  • Free accounts have a call allowance; see Consensus's official documentation. DOIs, full-text excerpts and pages after the first need a paid plan
  • Consensus's docs note the OAuth token may expire after a few hours, requiring re-authorization; result text includes citation instructions supplied by the server
  • Consensus's terms allow personal research use only, not bulk retrieval or database building; availability from mainland China is unverified
