OpenAlex is a bibliographic catalogue of scientific papers, authors and institutions accessible in open access mode. Its website is https://openalex.org/.

Trinity publications are periodically downloaded from OpenAlex into a staging area of Trinity's Research Support System (RSS).

Import from the OpenAlex staging area is optional and complements the existing import options (ORCID, Scopus, Crossref, Pubmed, etc).

RSS users with authenticated ORCID IDs will receive the following OpenAlex alerts on the RSS Home page and RSS Publications page:

  • Publications for review and import
  • Missing DOIs for import

For example:
