  • Monitoring Open Access publications for a given institution - Learn how to filter and group with the API.

  • What are the publication sources located in Japan? - Use the source entity to look at a country's publications over time.

  • Calculate the h-index for a given author - Use filtering, sorting, and paging to get citation counts and calculate the h-index, an author-level metric.

  • How are my institution's researchers collaborating with people around the globe? - Learn about institutions in OpenAlex while exploring the international research collaborations made by a university.

  • Getting started with OpenAlex Premium - Use your Premium API Key to download the latest updates from our API and keep your data in sync with ours.

  • Introduction to openalexR - In this R notebook, an accompaniment to the webinar on openalexR, you'll learn the basics of using the openalexR library to get data from OpenAlex.
