Nick Haupka, Natali­ia Kaliuzh­na, and Christo­pher Lenke examine how well the insti­tu­tion­al affil­i­a­tions of OpenAlex match the curat­ed data from the KB insti­tu­tion­al coding. Using over 70,000 schol­ar­ly articles from univer­si­ties in the German state of Lower Saxony, their analy­sis shows that 91.5% of both data sources are assigned to the same institution.
