Claude Desktop built this in one shot. 5min. Compares research output from any institutions, filtered by any keywords. Backed by open data from @OpenAlex_org.

This used to be a product. Now it's a prompt. GUI is over.

OpenAlex is now serving ONE BILLION api calls monthly (that's as much as the Crossref api)! Plus another half-billion monthly via the Unpaywall api.

A million api calls isn't cool; a BILLION api calls is cool :)

We just launched Walden, our rebuilt dataset built on a rewritten codebase. It's faster, cleaner, and adds 190M new works. Same schema, better data.

Apologies: our API and website is mostly down right now, due to the ongoing AWS outage. 😬

Really excited to announce our first community Advisory Board! An exceptional team who are going to make OpenAlex even better!

New affiliation matching protocols make changes in ROR records reflected in OpenAlex sooner. It's already enriched metadata for 2.2M works!

Big thanks to @ResearchOrgs and @CrossrefOrg for collaborating on this enhancement to open research metadata.

Great to read reviews like this. We love our community and are so excited to be building something beautiful together, in the open, as it should be!
