The OpenAIRE Research Graph is one of the largest open scholarly record collections worldwide, key in
fostering Open Science and establishing its practices in the daily research activities. Conceived as a
public and transparent good, populated out of data sources trusted by scientists, the Graph aims at bringing
discovery, monitoring, and assessment of science back in the hands of the scientific community.
Imagine a vast collection of research products all linked together, contextualised and openly available. For
the past ten years OpenAIRE has been working to gather this valuable record. OpenAIRE is pleased to announce
the beta release of its Research Graph, a massive collection of metadata and links between scientific
products such as articles, datasets, software, and other research products, entities like organisations,
funders, funding streams, projects, communities, and data sources.
As of today, the OpenAIRE Research Graph aggregates around 450Mi metadata records with links collecting from
10,000 data sources trusted by scientists! After cleaning, deduplication, and fine-grained classification
processes, they narrow down to ~100Mi publications, ~8Mi datasets, ~200K software research products, 8Mi
other products linked together with semantic relations.
More than 10Mi full-texts of Open Access publications are mined by algorithms to enrich metadata records
with additional properties and links among research products, funders, projects, communities, and
organizations. Thanks to the mining algorithm, the graph is completed with 480Mi semantic relations.
The graph is currently under pre-release consultation process which will last two months. Help us making the graph ready for its 1st production release by providing your feedback!
You can provide feedback via Trello or via opening a ticket in the OpenAIRE Helpdesk under the category OpenAIRE Services with the subject "OpenAIRE Research Graph: ”. The graph can be explore and tested via this portal or via data dumps made available in Zenodo.org.
