| From Mark Bilby: In case you hadn’t heard about the release of this open global academic publication database and API from the intrepid folks at OurResearch. https://docs.openalex.org/
It builds on Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG), which is now deprecated, but it is far easier to query and scrape than MAG, Scopus, or Web of Science, and built with an entirely open source and open data architecture. PIDs for five entities (Works, Authors, Venues, Institutions, Concepts) are sufficient to make an API call. Here’s a link, for example, to all of its publications by CSU Fullerton affiliated authors: https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=institutions.id:I142934699
Might be something for the DRC and ScholComm committees to consider. With or apart from the ORCID member API, it could be the basis for a tool or workflow to automate the bulk finding of publication upload candidates and perhaps also the bulk harvesting and ingest of open access (CC licensed) content metadata and knowledge products into ScholarWorks, as well as the population and updating of faculty profiles, expert guides, annual reports, etc.
