Abstract

OpenAlex is an open, comprehensive index of scolarly papers, citations, authors, institutions, and journals. Available through API and UI as well (at openalex.org), this record refers to the full data snapshot. When citing OpenAlex, don't use this record. Instead, use: Priem, J., Piwowar, H., & Orr, R. (2022). OpenAlex: A fully-open index of scholarly works, authors, venues, institutions, and concepts. ArXiv. https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.01833 This record is intended for long-term persistence but because the OpenAlex snapshot updates every month, it is better to download the current version directly from AWS. Information on how to download the entire data snapshot for OpenAlex can be found at: https://docs.openalex.org/download-all-data/openalex-snapshot
