OpenAIRE Research Graph: Unlocking Open Science Monitoring

The purpose of the European OpenAIRE infrastructure is to facilitate, foster, support, and monitor Open Science scholarly communication in Europe. The infrastructure has been operational for almost a decade and successful in linking people, ideas and resources in support of the free flow, access, sharing, and re-use of research outcomes. Thanks to synergies and collaborations with a plethora of scholarly communication stakeholders, including institutional repositories, funders, research communities and publishers, OpenAIRE delivers the OpenAIRE Research Graph, an open metadata research graph of interlinked scientific products, with access rights information, links to fundings and research communities. It has been conceived as a trusted, open, public good where research is contextualised and traversable, facilitating the discovery of research outcomes, the monitoring of Open Science uptake, trends, and research impact
