New data release of OAL curations stemming from the OpenBIB project

  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).  

Open Social Science Citation Index by KB partner GESIS

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.
