Policy Commons indexes and link to more than 3.2 million reports, working papers, policy briefs, data sources, and media drawn from a curated directory of more than 24,000 IGOs, NGOs, think tanks, and research centers. In 2021 alone, Policy Commons added 500,000 new full-text records— more than twenty per hour! Urgent topics like COVID and Ukraine can be researched without waiting for traditional publishing schedules. Policy Commons includes 500,000 pages of full-text materials from Council of Europe, African Books Collective, Environmental Law Institute, and other publishers. Policy Commons rescued over 35,000 reports from nearly 500 inactive organizations. Policy Commons expect to add at least 100,000 more pages of saved content every year, from organizations that were important, influential, and cited before they disappeared.
