Overview

Starting from existing
research-related data sources
build an open, global
and trusted Research graph
we perform Statistical Analysis and produce Open Science Indicators
furthermore Network
Analysis
producing Collaboration Indicators
Often combine with external data (patents, social, company) and perform Impact Analysis to produce Innovation Indicators

Terminology and construction

  • Research Outcomes
    There are currently four different types of research outcomes in the OpenAIRE Research Graph:
    • Publication
    • Dataset
    • Software
    • Other Research Product
    OpenAIRE deduplicates (merges) different records of research outcomes and keeps the metadata of all instances.
    Publication Research outcomes intended for human reading (published articles, pre-prints, conference papers, presentations, technical reports, etc.)
    Dataset

    Research data

    Granularity is not defined by OpenAIRE, it reflects the granularity supported by the sources from which the description of the dataset has been collected.

    Software Source code or software package developed and/or used in a research context
    Other Research Product Anything that does not fall in the previous categories (e.g. workflow, methods, protocols)
