A few days ago, @OpenAlex announced that they will require free API keys instead of having the “polite pool” with an email parameter: https://groups.google.com/g/openalex-users/c/rI1GIAySpVQ

They also shared some more insights: their infrastructure now handles around 1.5 billion API calls per month 🤯 On top of that, they are planning new APIs for PDF content and vector search, affiliation matching curation and better author name disambiguation (https://blog.openalex.org/openalex-2026-roadmap/).

With the new features, it looks like they are starting to reap the benefits of their backend migration.

New research in Journal of Informetrics asked 2,300+ social scientists from 42 countries: what are your top-3 publications?

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joi.2025.101757

Only ~40% of self-identified “top” works also ranked in the author’s top-3 by citations. Even tripling citation counts wouldn’t push nearly a third of them into the bibliometric top. And 17% of “best” works don’t even appear in Scopus - especially in sociology and political science.

My new paper on Ukrainian researchers’ publishing activity in Gold Open Access journals during the war has just been published. I focused on five major publishers (Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, and SAGE):

https://doi.org/10.2478/jdis-2025-0059

Ukrainian papers in fully Gold OA journals of these publishers grew by more than 50% in 2023, with further growth in 2024.

While doing a bibliometric analysis, I noticed something strange – recent papers from 🇹🇷 scholars seemed to disappear from my dataset. The reason? The country officially changed its name to #Türkiye, no longer wishing to be associated with turkey (the bird).

Names and identities matter. Respecting them is essential, and so is being careful with citation databases whose metadata is not always reliable.

Interesse an Bibliometrie?

Kennt ihr schon die "Loseblattsammlung" aka. bibliometrische Quick Notes von unserm Kollegen @optykali?
Ein Blick lohnt sich – oder auch mehrere lange Blicke.
