@gepasi aw, thanks!

@gepasi It's something we're going to be looking into soon. We just made a big push for better ORCID integration. Round one of this does not account for bad ORCID data. We're definitely going to have to get more resilient to those errors (and the manual curation tools will help too). But we're developing this thing out in the open—this is how it goes!

@gepasi It looks like Robert Muller claimed your ORCID on this work: https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkac331

Author name disambiguation is an extremely difficult problem. We're continually improving, but we do and will continue to make mistakes. We'd love for you to continue providing constructive feedback, but if we're not up to your standards right now, check back with us in a few months and see whether we continue to disappoint you or not!

@gepasi @soliman We've had a lot of requests for corrections. We're going to introduce a tool for you to implement your own corrections soon. We're also working on some changes that may make things look a little messier than usual right now.

@gepasi @soliman Geez, you all are grumpy today. You can query by ORCID by doing this, for example: https://api.openalex.org/authors?filter=orcid:0000-0001-6507-9168

@matherion You've got it right. Endnote is a popular software that we think a lot of our web users use, so that's what we called it. We clarify and link to that same wikipedia page in our docs here: https://help.openalex.org/hc/en-us/articles/24829724234007-Exporting-results

@matherion It's working for me. Could you try again? Sometimes you need to close the window and reopen; if there is a backend failure it can perpetuate through the session. If you keep having trouble, submit a bug report: https://openalex.org/feedback

New preprint is out! We combine our recent open dataset of #APC prices with the publication counts per journal-year from @OpenAlex to estimate how much the academic community has paid in APCs over the last five years.

A: $8.349 billion ($8.968 billion in 2023 US dollars) spent on APCs.

$2.5B in 2023 alone.

We also find that median APCs *paid* are higher than median *listed* fees for both gold (paid: $2,450 vs listed: $2,000) and hybrid ($3,600 vs $3,230).

@RonaldVisser Thanks for the context! @failedLyndonLaRouchite if you could share anything about how we're lacking in Biology in particular, we'd be interested to hear it and see if we can improve.

@RonaldVisser @failedLyndonLaRouchite @edzob @OpenSciTwente @oscu @oscmaastricht @oscgroningen Thank you for the encouragement! I'm not able to see the rest of this thread. May I ask what you're referring to here?

@bjorn Have you been expecting the email updates for new works, but you haven't been receiving them? If you could give more details, we could try to figure out what's wrong. https://openalex.org/support
