OpenAIRE's Open Infrastructure for Research Monitoring and Bibliometrics

This presentation explores how OpenAIRE's Graph database and suite of services can support open research infrastructures in the Nordic region. The OpenAIRE Graph is a Scientific Knowledge Graph containing nearly 300 million research products, including over 194 million publications, 75 million datasets, and 660,000 software records. It links these products with their organizations and funding agencies, and includes indicators for their usage and impact. Through the OpenAIRE Graph, institutions and researchers can conduct comprehensive analyses using both APIs and the MONITOR dashboard to generate bibliometric reports, track open access compliance, and evaluate institutional contributions. Drawing from the successful implementation of the Irish National Open Access Monitor, I will discuss how these tools and infrastructure can be tailored to organizational needs. The presentation will examine practical implementation strategies, with particular attention to metadata quality, stakeholder engagement, and the crucial role of interoperability and shared governance in building a sustainable open research ecosystem.
