OpenAlex is a fully open catalog of the global research system. It's named after the ancient Library of Alexandria and made by the nonprofit OurResearch.
The OpenAlex dataset describes scholarly entities and how those entities are connected to each other. Types of entities include works, authors, sources, institutions, concepts, publishers, and funders.
Together, these make a huge web (or more technically, heterogeneous directed graph) of hundreds of millions of entities and billions of connections between them all.
The API is the primary way to get OpenAlex data. It's free and requires no authentication. For best performance, add your email to all API requests, like.
