Yesterday, we wrapped up another successful edition of our course Bibliometric Data Sources and Indicators at CWTS, @universiteitleiden University.
It was a great week of discussions on bibliometric indicators, open research information, new data sources like #OpenAlex, #preprinting, and the challenges of transparent #ResearchAssessment.
Thank you to all participants for their active engagement and to our lecturers Clara Calero Medina, @vtraag Traag and @LudoWaltman!
The fruits of following my curiosity yesterday - a little Sunday Study on citations.

Motivated by @sundogplanets 's post on citing old papers: https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/114677909402696290
I haven't checked, because I wanted to do it anyway, but I'm sure someone out there has done this more thoroughly and properly.
Googlen könnt ihr. 
Für die systematische Suchen sind #Datenbanken dann die nächste Challenge. #WebofScience und #scopus sind hierfür wichtige Angebote von Verlagen, die wir für euch finanzieren.
Aber es gibt auch eine freie Alternative. Florian stellt euch #OpenAlex vor. Wir sind gespannt auf eure Erfahrungen.

"OpenAlex had the best coverage (98.6%), followed by Semantic Scholar (98.3%), Embase (96.8%), and PubMed (93.0%). However, 90.5% of all articles were retrievable from all four databases. All articles that were not retrievable from OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar were either assessed as medium or high RoB. In contrast, both Embase and PubMed missed articles that were of high quality (low RoB)"

#OpenAlex a du mal à s'y retrouver parmi les universités de la #Sorbonne. https://openalex.org/works/w2308747109
Are you working with #metadata on research output and actively use open platforms as #OpenAlex, @OpenAIRE, @crossref or @ORCID_Org? Then don't miss the first workshop of #SOAD, the Swiss Open Academic Data community at @ethzurich.bsky.social in September!
#CallforContributions is now open:

Last year, we found that @OpenAlex was mistakenly marking some papers as retracted—misleading researchers. We @hauschke reported the issue, posted a preprint in March 2024, and… #OpenAlex fixed it almost instantly! 
https://doi.org/10.1177/01655515251322478
Meanwhile, our peer-reviewed paper on this? Published today - over a year later. See the difference? Preprints matter. Open science works.

You should get in touch with @kfitz
They even have their own 
instance and are interacting with #bonfire folks.
OK, my list is now
#Zenodo (in use, but I didn't see its potential 
)
#OpenAlex (in me use 
)
#kcworks (ready to discover this week 
)
#Bonfire (waiting for it 
)
#europepmc (will use it more 
)
#ORCiD (my appologies, I undervalued you
)
New #preprint 
- Can #OpenAlex compete with #Scopus in bibliometric analysis?
https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.18427
@OpenAlex has broader coverage and shows higher correlation with certain expert assessments.
At the same time, it has issues with metadata completeness and document classification.
Most intriguingly: it turns out that raw #citation counts perform just as well, and in some cases even better, than normalized indicators, which have long been considered the standard in #scientometrics.
arXiv.orgIs OpenAlex Suitable for Research Quality Evaluation and Which Citation Indicator is Best?This article compares (1) citation analysis with OpenAlex and Scopus, testing their citation counts, document type/coverage and subject classifications and (2) three citation-based indicators: raw counts, (field and year) Normalised Citation Scores (NCS) and Normalised Log-transformed Citation Scores (NLCS). Methods (1&2): The indicators calculated from 28.6 million articles were compared through 8,704 correlations on two gold standards for 97,816 UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 articles. The primary gold standard is ChatGPT scores, and the secondary is the average REF2021 expert review score for the department submitting the article. Results: (1) OpenAlex provides better citation counts than Scopus and its inclusive document classification/scope does not seem to cause substantial field normalisation problems. The broadest OpenAlex classification scheme provides the best indicators. (2) Counterintuitively, raw citation counts are at least as good as nearly all field normalised indicators, and better for single years, and NCS is better than NLCS. (1&2) There are substantial field differences. Thus, (1) OpenAlex is suitable for citation analysis in most fields and (2) the major citation-based indicators seem to work counterintuitively compared to quality judgements. Field normalisation seems ineffective because more cited fields tend to produce higher quality work, affecting interdisciplinary research or within-field topic differences.

That's why I hope that #OpenAlex will be gaining in importance.
A pity that OpenAlex has not been discussed in the article

New Video Recording: "DOAJ & #OpenAlex Collaborations for Improved Open Science" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YeG5YyJhcU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YeG5YyJhcU @DOAJ #openscience
Hemos planteado algunas mejoras en la web del grupo del grupo de investigación. Controlar al 100% las publicaciones científicas es algo complicado: hay muchas bases de datos o fuentes y la verdad es que diríamos que ninguna es completa al 100%. Hemos optado por poner 2 secciones en la página de publicaciones (https://infobisoc.es/publicaciones/):
- La primera muestra a las personas de INFOBISOC junto con una imagen y enlaces a diferentes bases de datos (foto 1)
- La segunda, conecta con la API de OpenAlex y muestra las últimas 50 publicaciones del grupo. Al final hay un enlace para acceder a todos los resultados en OpenAlex (foto 2)
OpenAlex tampoco es completa al 100%, pero la integración con la API en la web funciona muy bien. Hemos probado con la API de Crossref y ORCID, pero se ve mejor la de OpenAlex.

On 20th February at 17:00 UTC, @OpenAlex and #DOAJ will give a joint webinar on our collaboration and how we help quality #openaccess journals achieve greater visibility and impact.

L'université de Nantes se désabonne de la base Wiley et du #WebOfScience pour utiliser #OpenAlex et soutenir des initiatives de la #ScienceOuverte dont #PCI et #OpenEdition https://www.univ-nantes.fr/recherche-et-innovation/science-ouverte-et-publications/des-desabonnements-pour-mieux-soutenir-la-science-ouverte
Nantes UniversitéDes désabonnements pour mieux soutenir la science ouverteDans la lignée de plusieurs établissements français (1*) ayant fait le choix en 2024 de renoncer
à certains abonnements numériques phares, Nantes Université a décidé de ne pas renouveler en 2025 ses abonnements à la base de données Web of Science et aux revues Wiley.
"#OpenAlex: what is it and how do we use it?" https://osl.hypotheses.org/15701
SLUB Open Science LabOpenAlex: 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.
Is there an analog for #researchgate in the #Fediverse?
In a way, https://bookwyrm.social/ comes close to this. Bibliometric information like the number of citations might be taken from different sources like #openalex and #wikidata.

Just discovered #openalex : the #openscience alternative to web of science etc. Calling it that is doing it a disservice, so check for yourself how awesome it is.

If there is a will, there is a way.
What #openalex has achieved during last year has all my respect. And it should have yours if you care about #OpenData and #openscience
