We will delve into how OpenAlex aggregates and links scholarly entities--including papers, authors, institutions, topics, and journals--from diverse sources, leveraging advanced techniques to create a rich, interconnected knowledge graph. The session will highlight OpenAlex's current capabilities, offering a free and open API and user interface that empower researchers to explore, analyze, and discover scholarly content with unprecedented ease.
