Intro to OpenAlex

This watch party (streaming event) introduces OpenAlex, a free and open index of the global research ecosystem.

The presentation highlights the limitations of subscription-only scholarly databases and shows how OpenAlex enables transparency, reproducibility, and equity in research discovery and assessment. It also explores how users can access and analyze OpenAlex data through metadata, APIs, and new web-based tools. This event is sponsored by GradSuccess.
