PhilPapers is an interactive academic database of journal articles in philosophy.[1] It is maintained by the Centre for Digital Philosophy at the University of Western Ontario, and as of 2022, it has "394,867 registered users, including the majority of professional philosophers and graduate students".[2] The general editors are its founders, David Bourget and David Chalmers.[2]

PhilPapers receives financial support from other organizations, including a substantial grant in early 2009 from the Joint Information Systems Committee in the United Kingdom.[3] The archive is praised for its comprehensiveness and organization,[4] and for its regular updates.[5] In addition to archiving papers, the editors run and publish the most extensive ongoing survey of academic philosophers.[6]
