h1. The OpenAIRE Research Graph

The OpenAIRE Research Graph is one of the largest open scholarly record collections worldwide, key in fostering Open Science and establishing its practices in the daily research activities. 
4
Conceived as a public and transparent good, populated out of data sources trusted by scientists, the Graph aims at bringing discovery, monitoring, and assessment of science back in the hands of the scientific community.

Imagine a vast collection of research products all linked together, contextualised and openly available. For the past ten years OpenAIRE has been working to gather this valuable record. It is a massive collection of metadata and links between scientific products such as articles, datasets, software, and other research products, entities like organisations, funders, funding streams, projects, communities, and data sources.

As of today, the OpenAIRE Research Graph aggregates around 450Mi metadata records with links collecting from 10K data sources trusted by scientists, including:

* Repositories registered in OpenDOAR or re3data.org
10
* Open Access journals registered in DOAJ
11
* Crossref
12
* Unpaywall
13
* ORCID
14
* Microsoft Academic Graph
15
* Datacite

After cleaning, deduplication, enrichment and full-text mining processes, the graph is analysed to produce statistics for OpenAIRE MONITOR (https://monitor.openaire.eu), the Open Science Observatory (https://osobservatory.openaire.eu), made discoverable via OpenAIRE EXPLORE (https://explore.openaire.eu) and programmatically accessible as described at https://develop.openaire.eu.
