Discussion

For those curious about what's technically possible, here's the OpenAlex API docs: https://docs.openalex.org/
We could explore research networks, collaboration patterns, open access rates, interdisciplinary connections, and more...
The question is:
what would make profiles genuinely useful for how you work?
Let's build this together 🔬
@open_science

As we integrate #OpenAlex data into the #Bonfire#OpenScience flavor, we're displaying familiar metrics: works count, citations, h-index, research topics, institutional affiliations...
These might be exactly what you need, or perhaps just a starting point.
What additional information would help you find collaborators or understand someone's work better?
We're opening this design process to the open science community. Share what works, what doesn't, what's missing.

we're indeed very curious about the TwoWay RSS @fahrni was talking about... 👀

especially given we have circles and boundaries that could enable much more nuanced defaults...
Consider this a starting point and an invitation for discussing better and much more interesting defaults 😀
