These are the valuable sources for the ScientificCommons.org project. The ScientificCommons.org project makes it possible to access the largely distributed sources with their vast amount of scientific publications via just one common interface.

Currently ScientificCommons.org has indexed about 10 million scientific publications and successfully extracted 4 million authors out of this data.
