Some free options for university finance teams to consider:

- Zotero > Endnote (superior performance too)
- Inkscape + NIH BioArt/bioicons > Illustrator + BioRender
- SerialCloner/ApE > SnapGene
- LibreOffice > Microsoft suite
- OpenAlex > Web of Science analytics

Highlights a challenging exclusionary data modelling question for ROR and other systems like OpenAlex. Affiliation MUST be an optional field.
So @researchorgs.bsky.social, what am I to do in as an unaffiliated scholar? Does a registry of research orgs have a means of recognizing me? If not, what’s your advice for systems implementing RORs?
At the end of another Open Access Week, where the virtues of open infrastructure & standards have been rightly praised, I'm grappling with whether OpenAlex is incapable of creating an accurate author profile for me because it relies on RORs while I'm a scholar without institutional affiliation.

More works are now correctly classified as non-English languages, instead of being incorrectly labeled as English.

New languages, previously absent from OpenAlex, are now detected for the first time.

Previously “null” records now have reliable language tags.
A Better Way to Detect Language in OpenAlex—and a Better Way to Collaborate - OpenAlex blog
As part of the recent Walden system launch, we’ve improved how OpenAlex detects the language of scholarly works. The results are immediately visible in the data: many more works are now correctly reco...

🌍Under the theme “Who Owns Our Knowledge?” for Open Access Week 2025🔓, we’re spotlighting two initiatives reshaping how knowledge is shared and evaluated: CoARA and OpenAlex.

I've seen people dismiss offerings like Elicit, Consensus, Undermind etc as just wrappers around Semantic Scholar, Crossref, Openalex etc.

To be more exact everyone will ingest the free set like openalex, semantic scholar which is broad but lacks depth as it lacks full text and increasingly abstracts . Competition will be around the rest...
For others who don't have such big indexes i think chances are slim content providers will allow them to ingest content into their systems as this risks losing control (a much greater threat in 2020s vs 2010s). MCP might be a way around it (3)

OpenAlex ya supera en cobertura bibliográfica a Google Scholar

GS no longer the largest due to the huge increase of OpenAlex. New data for Xueshu

Interesting! I’d love to see counts by different output types. I know Matilda and OpenAlex count peer reviews, and OpenAlex indexes individual book chapters (even for monographs) but not sure how much of a difference those quirks make over all.

I really don’t like how terrible products end up being the only option people know about or can use

I haven’t even heard of openalex! And I try to keep up to date with these types of engines

Note that this analysis applies to before the latest openalex "Walden" rebuild update still in beta. Quick check shows quite different results.

I pulled all the CDC papers I could from openalex and I can’t really tell if they are pre-print only so hopefully this is not going to result in a loss of a lot of studies

I'm trying OpenAlex for the first time for searching the academic literature. It's got a good vibe, good results, easy to use. Thumbs up! 👍

Thank you! Wish we thought about the Bandcamp/demo analogy - that does fit preprints better. OpenAlex has a fantastic collection of resources ❤️ We are limited to life sciences, so the difference in numbers will likely remain. But we keep expanding our preprint collection - just added MetaArXiv

In thinking about alternatives for #PubMed (coverage and functionalities) I wondered how many PubMed records of recent years don't have a DOI.

Numbers for (journal) articles, reviews, preprints and retractions from 2022-2024, from OpenAlex (pub and source types are OpenAlex' classification)

New blog post: We found some inconsistencies in the OpenAccess metadata provided by OpenAlex.

The blog post is our full documentation of the issue, including a proposal to reclassify four million records affected:

What’s the data? I remember that there was a book index by google Scholar a few years ago. Kuhn‘s Structures was by far the most cited book ever.
Now we have OpenAlex and data should get better
