OpenAlex: what is it and how do we use it?
The number of scientific publications has been continuously increasing for years. As a result, both researchers and the assessment of scholarly work are faced with new challenges. OpenAlex, as an open data source, provides an approach to maintaining an overview of the growing number of scientific articles, conference papers, and collected volumes. In order to help these vital services the Sachsenkonsortium (consortium of Saxony) coordinated by the Saxon State and University Library (SLUB Dresden) continues to support OpenAlex.
