The OpenAIRE Graph: enabling open research intelligence using open data

The OpenAIRE Graph provides an open, community-governed data infrastructure for research intelligence, enabling transparent and auditable use of scholarly data beyond proprietary systems. The global research ecosystem is calling for a structural transition from proprietary, opaque systems for research intelligence to open, community-governed infrastructures. At the centre of this shift is the need to reclaim how scholarly data is collected, connected, and used to inform research evaluation and policy. The OpenAIRE Graph addresses this challenge by providing a large-scale, openly accessible scholarly knowledge graph that treats publications, data, and software as first-class research outputs. As a community-governed infrastructure, it establishes a transparent and auditable foundation for Open Research Intelligence.
