The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) and Verfassungsblog jointly invite to the ELADOAH closing event "Diamond Open Access gemeinsam gestalten" (in German).
The esss provides training and state-of the art insight into scientometrics with the corresponding methods, procedures, indicators as well as the available database products for scientometric analyses. The program combines theoretical knowledge and its practical application in various contexts ranging from research to the provision of scientific policy advice to research evaluation.

Last year, KB colleagues presented the initial OPENBIB data release, which contains selected and curated metadata from OpenAlex. In our blog https://open-bibliometrics.de/, also resulting from the project, a new post now details the updated OPENBIB data release, which is based on the OpenAlex snapshot from July 2025. Alongside updated curation pipelines, this data release is also featuring an author disambiguation system developed by our GESIS colleague Jack Culbert (a more detailed blog post regrading only the author disambiguation is planned).
Our KB partner GESIS has released an Open Social Science Citation Index (OpenSSCI). The dataset comprises reference metadata and citation links derived from 63,070 full-text academic documents archived in the SSOAR (Social Science Open Access Repository). The data has been curated within the OUTCITE project for downstream ingestion into OpenCitations. More than 3.1 million citation links are available under CC0.
