Date: Thursday, April 10, 2025
Time: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET
Join the CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice for a presentation and discussion on OpenAlex for Research Analytics with invited speaker Kyle Demes.
Institutions of all shapes and sizes rely on data about the activities, outputs, and impacts of their researchers, as well as those at other institutions, to drive their research strategy. Historically, this data was only available through costly subscriptions to proprietary databases. Now, all of this is possible with completely open databases, but there aren’t yet many practical training opportunities with these tools. In this workshop, Kyle will introduce OpenAlex as a source for research analytics and walk through common use analytics cases using OpenAlex. If you have specific use cases that you’d like to see covered, let Kyle know in advance using this form: https://forms.gle/ztr9MnW8oA8Kyhgs5
