β 1.36.0 OMNIKA

This website is in the beta phase of development, meaning that it is currently being worked on. We have decided to make OMNIKA available to the public during all development phases. It may not contain all planned features and services. Things may be incomplete or partially broken, which may hinder user experience.

You can expect the following:

  • Minor bugs
  • Minor downtime
  • Ongoing testing and rapid feature release cycles
  • Missing features
  • Average load times

If you are doing academic or scholarly research, it's pretty safe to rely on our data to be accurate and up to date. For more information, check our release notes.
