The Open Doors of Open Science: Discover OpenAlex - Kalauz

Surely no one is still looking for literature in those overused literature databases that have been searched to death, with fees and access restrictions that are frustrating and annoying. Today I'm sharing with you a truly Free literature search tool - OpenAlex.

It's not only free, but also has an enormous collection of literature, essentially serving as a free alternative to Web of Science. Whether you're writing a thesis or academic paper, or preparing a literature review, using it to search for literature can save you tons of time. I recommend bookmarking it right away!

This is a completely free open academic database launched by the non-profit organization OurResearch in 2022, with the goal of breaking down knowledge barriers and promoting open science. It provides comprehensive search services covering academic papers, authors, institutions, journals, and topics from around the world.

OpenAlex currently contains 250 million documents, including journal articles (both open access and metadata from paid papers), book chapters, dissertations, datasets, and various preprints (such as arXiv, bioRxiv, etc.).
