Abstract
Description
Publication data is queried and retrieved from the OpenAlex catalog of scholarly records, using python. A simple script is used, utilizing the OpenAlex API via the pyAlex library. Retrieved record data is dumped in json format to facilitate recurring or iterative analysis. A basic analysis regarding Open-Access is performed by this same script, list comprehension is used to filter records based on type and Open-Access status / features. Lastly, the analysis results are provided via simple printout.
The script can be run as is to provide an analysis of the journal articles published by Technical University of Darmstadt (TUDa), RWTH Aachen University (RWTH) and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) during 2016-2023. As a basic analysis regarding Open-Access, total number of publications is counted per institution per year, as well as number of Open-Access publications and number of "gold" "Open-Access" publications (i.e. primary location of publication is an Open-Access Journal).
This repository entry provides the utilized script, readme and retrieved data dump on the date of submission. Regarding installation, requirements, and usage, refer to the readme.
The authors thank Anne-Christine Günther and Harald Gerlach for the fruitful discussion and feedback on the approach and implementation of this analysis.
