In this article, we express the Alexander polynomial of null-homologous long knots in punctured rational homology 3-spheres in terms of integrals over configuration spaces. To get such an expression, we use a previously established formula, which gives generalized Bott-Cattaneo-Rossi invariants in terms of the Alexander polynomial and vice versa, and we relate these Bott-Cattaneo-Rossi invariants to the perturbative expansion of Chern-Simons theory.
