Great to see that OpenAlex by OurrResarch is now also human readable in courageous alpha-version (so with bugs but allowing early input) here: https://alpha.openalex.org/works. This open source scholarly knowledge graph uses a.o. PIDs to connect works/authors/institutions/sources/concepts and more.
@jeroenbosman Thank you, Jeroen, this is indeed great news. It clearly shows the power of OpenAlex.
It allowed me to see that I have more than ten OpenAlex identifiers myself. Do you known if there is already some way to help and correct the data one knows of ?
I guess it is too early.
@fresseng AFAIK feedback is very much appreciated, but at a higher level than correcting individual errors. I think they would very like to know if you suspect that for some reason whole chucks of data/relations are missing or erroneous. Then they can try to spot systematic errors and correct them.
@jeroenbosman Thank you for this clear answer. Do you know the best feedback channel if one has some useful feedback ?
The team is here, too: @OpenAlex - but they are not very active, it seems. They didn't even announce the release of this alpha.
@hauschke @jeroenbosman @fresseng We are quite active, in fact! The alpha launch has been intended to be a bit quiet. You can definitely expect a bigger announcement this July with the beta launch!
@hauschke @jeroenbosman @fresseng And yes, agree with everything @jeroenbosman said. Submit your feedback to https://openalex.org/help. We are working on ways to incorporate more narrow data corrections as well.
@fresseng I would submit here https://openalex.org/help or tag them on Twitter if you use that.
