The Encyclopedia of Life is a United States–based research service that aims to organize and provide online access to information about Earth’s living organisms. Its core offering consists of a network of web pages, each dedicated to one of the roughly 1.8 million known species, serving as entry points to a broad body of life-related knowledge for researchers, educators, and the public. Positioned within the research services industry, the organization focuses on aggregating and presenting diverse biological information in a centralized, accessible format. Based in the United States and operating with a relatively small to mid-sized team, the encyclopedia emerged as a large-scale, collaborative effort to map biodiversity and support scientific understanding through open access to species data. A notable recent development involves the launch of an Open Access Support Project announced in early 2012 in partnership with Pensoft Publishers, reflecting its commitment to expanding accessible scholarly content.
