<div>
The National Open Access Monitor for Ireland is built upon the OpenAIRE Graph, a
comprehensive database of research metadata records. This extensive collection includes
records from 129K data sources, featuring around 3 million projects, 170 million
publications, 60 million datasets, 400K pieces of research software, and approximately 8
million other research outputs as of December 2023. Regular updates, conducted nearly
monthly, ensure the graph is consistently reflective of the latest scholarly
contributions.

At the core of the OpenAIRE Graph is a commitment to data quality. The pipeline processes metadata
from a multitude of sources, including detailed project information from funding bodies. Advanced
inference algorithms enhance the metadata and full texts of Open Access publications, establishing
crucial links between research results, projects, author affiliations, and classifications like Fields
of Science (FoS) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To maintain an open, trusted, and publicly
accessible resource, we apply sophisticated techniques for identifying and merging duplicate records,
supplemented by OpenAIRE's suite of curation tools, including the Metadata Validator for completeness
checks and OpenORGS for organization disambiguation.
