Bibliometrics, whether used for research or research evaluation, relies on large multidisciplinary databases of research outputs and citation indices. The Web of Science (WoS) was the main supporting infrastructure of the field for more…
Unlike traditional proprietary data sources such as Scopus and the Web of Science (WoS), OpenAlex emphasizes its comprehensiveness. This study analyzes OpenAlex coverage and metadata completeness and accuracy of African research…
OpenAlex, launched in 2022 as a fully open scholarly data source, promises greater inclusiveness compared to traditional proprietary databases. This study evaluates whether OpenAlex delivers on that promise by examining its coverage and…
Scopus and the Web of Science have been the foundation for research in the science of science even though these traditional databases systematically underrepresent certain disciplines and world regions. In response, new inclusive databases,…
OpenAlex is a promising open source of scholarly metadata, and competitor to established proprietary sources, such as the Web of Science and Scopus. As OpenAlex provides its data freely and openly, it permits researchers to perform…
The present comparative study examines the three main multidisciplinary bibliographic databases, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, and OpenAlex, with the aim of providing up-to-date evidence on coverage, metadata quality, and…
OpenAlex is an open bibliographic database that has been proposed as an alternative to commercial platforms in a context defined by the aim of transforming science evaluation systems into more transparent sources based on open data. This…
In quantitative SciSci (science of science) studies, accurately identifying individual scholars is paramount for scientific data analysis. However, the variability in how names are represented-due to commonality, abbreviations, and…
OpenAlex has recently emerged as a leading alternative to proprietary bibliometric sources. However, concerns remain regarding the quality of its metadata, especially the institutional profiles which are crucial for evaluating…
Citation indexes play a crucial role for understanding how science is produced, disseminated, and used. However, these databases often face a critical trade-off: those offering extensive and high-quality coverage are typically proprietary,…
Scientific abstracts are increasingly used as primary data in computational metascience research, yet the quality of these abstracts in widely used bibliographic databases has not been systematically examined. We assess the integrity of…
Bibliometric methods are used in multiple fields for a variety of purposes, namely for research evaluation. Most bibliometric analyses have in common their data sources: Thomson Reuters' Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier's Scopus. This…
OpenAlex is a new, fully-open scientific knowledge graph (SKG), launched to replace the discontinued Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG). It contains metadata for 209M works (journal articles, books, etc); 2013M disambiguated authors; 124k…
This study aims to compare the geographical and disciplinary coverage of OA journals in three databases: OpenAlex, Scopus and the WoS. We used the ROAD database, managed by the ISSN International Centre, as a reference database which…
