About

Launched: 2021

Record Updated: Apr 19, 2024

Open scholarly dataset

Inspired by the ancient Library of Alexandria, OpenAlex is an index of hundreds of millions of interconnected entities across the global research system. We're 100% free and open source, and offer access via a web interface, API, and database snapshot.

Mission

Our mission is to make the global research system—the interconnected web of publications, authors, organizations, concepts, and other entities—available to everyone, everywhere.

Key Achievements

The CWTS Leiden Ranking of worldwide institutions has announced that an Open Edition of the rankings will be unveiled in 2024, using OpenAlex data.

OpenAlex is working with administrators at multiple universities around the world to switch from commercial products such as Scopus and Web of Science.
