Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Semantic Scholar not working?

If you're asking 'is Semantic Scholar down?', there are two main reasons Semantic Scholar is not working for you. First, it could be a widespread Semantic Scholar outage or scheduled maintenance. You can verify the current Semantic Scholar server status by checking our charts. Second, the problem might be local (a bad internet connection or browser cache).

How do I know if Semantic Scholar is down?

The best way to know if Semantic Scholar is down is to check this page. Look at our 24-hour graph for a spike in reports, which indicates a confirmed Semantic Scholar outage. You can also check our "Service Status History" log for official updates on the current Semantic Scholar server status.

If Semantic Scholar's website is down, does it mean the whole service is down?

Not always. A modern service has many parts (website, API, etc.). It's possible for Semantic Scholar to have a partial Semantic Scholar outage (like the API being down) while the main website still works. This can be confusing when you're asking 'is Semantic Scholar down?' because part of the service is still operational.

What are the common reasons for a Semantic Scholar outage?

A Semantic Scholar outage can be caused by many issues: server overloads, database failures, or new software bugs. Sometimes, it's just scheduled maintenance. These are common reasons why Semantic Scholar was down in the past. Our monitor tracks the Semantic Scholar status regardless of the cause.

What to do when Semantic Scholar is inaccessible or not working?

If Semantic Scholar is not working or inaccessible, first confirm the Semantic Scholar server status on this page. If we show a confirmed Semantic Scholar outage, you just have to wait for them to fix it. If our page shows the service is "Up," the issue is likely on your end (see our troubleshooting guide).

How does this down detector check the Semantic Scholar status?
