« Global overlay maps of science use base maps that are overlaid by specific data (from single researchers, institutions, or countries) for visualizing scientific performance such as field-specific paper output. A procedure to create global overlay maps using OpenAlex is proposed. Six different global base maps are provided. Using one of…

« Diamond open access (OA) journals offer a publishing model that is free for both authors and readers, but their lack of indexing in major bibliographic databases presents challenges in assessing the uptake of these journals. Furthermore, OA characteristics such as publication language and country of publication have often been used…

« Summary: In this webinar, the Academic Data Unit from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland (EPFL) showcase how they use OpenAlex data to facilitate transparent, tailor-made scientometric analysis and university benchmarking. They review their approach to navigate and combine over 65,000 concepts to form unique « areas of interest », enabling…

« This paper aims to analyze the extent to which inventive activity relies on open science. In other words, it investigates whether inventors utilize Open Access (OA) publications more than subscription-based ones, especially given that some inventors may lack institutional access. (…) »

« Le ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche (MESR) a mis en place un partenariat pluriannuel avec OpenAlex en décembre dernier. Le projet de partenariat entre le MESR et OpenAlex, inscrit dès 2021 dans le Deuxième Plan National pour la Science Ouverte, souligne l’importance pour la…

« Classifying research publications into research topics or research areas is crucial for many bibliometric analyses. While there are lots of approaches for classifying publications, most of these approaches lack transparency. Although there are exceptions (see here and here), these approaches are typically based…
