About OpenAlex

OpenAlex is a free, open, and comprehensive catalog of the world's scholarly works, built and maintained by OurResearch. It launched in 2022 as a replacement for the discontinued Microsoft Academic Graph.

OpenAlex indexes works from publishers, repositories, preprint servers, and institutional databases — including Crossref, PubMed, arXiv, DOAJ, and thousands of institutional repositories worldwide.

All data is available under the CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication, meaning it can be freely used, shared, and built upon with no restrictions.
