Works
Journal articles, books, datasets, and theses
Works are scholarly documents like journal articles, books, datasets, and theses. OpenAlex indexes over 240M works, with about 50,000 added daily. You can access a work in the OpenAlex API like this:
- Get the work with the DOI
https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.4375https://api.openalex.org/works/https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.4375
That will return a
Work object, describing everything OpenAlex knows about the work with that ID. We collect new works from many sources, including Crossref, PubMed, institutional and discipline-specific repositories (eg, arXiv). Many older works come from the now-defunct Microsoft Academic Graph. Works are linked to other works via the
referenced_works (outgoing citations), cited_by_api_url (incoming citations), and related_works properties.Learn more about what you can do with works:
