Clean data, by default

The same paper, a hundred sources - one clean result.

Most search tools show you duplicates and let you sort it out. We don't. Every record in OpenAIRE Explore has been deduplicated across all 160,000 sources, so your search results are clean, your counts are accurate, and your reports actually make sense.

  • One canonical record, many sources
    Whether a paper appears in 5 repositories or 50, you see it once. With all source links preserved underneath.
  • Accurate counts for reporting
    When you generate OA compliance reports, you're counting real outputs. Not inflated numbers from overlapping repositories.
  • Transparent provenance
    You can always see which sources contributed to a record. Nothing is hidden.
Connected by design

Not just a citation. The whole research story.

Every result in Explore links outward, to the specific grant that funded it, the datasets it was built on, the software it used, the researchers behind it (via ORCID), and the organisation they work for (via ROR). This isn't metadata. It's the full picture..

  • Linked to the specific grant, not just the funder
    See the exact grant number, dates and budget, not just "funded by ERC".
  • Publications linked to datasets and software
    Follow the data trail. See the datasets and code a paper relied on. And vice versa.
  • Authors identified by ORCID, orgs by ROR
    No more "which John Smith?". Persistent identifiers mean every person and organisation is unambiguous.
Data is fictitious.
Organisation profiles

Get a feel for any organisation's research footprint.

Search for any university, institute or research body and instantly see their output, open access performance, top fields, and connected projects. All drawn from the OpenAIRE Graph, no manual curation needed.

  • Output and OA stats at a glance
    Publication counts, open access breakdown, top research fields, for any organisation in the graph.
  • Researchers and collaborating organisations
    See who's active, which institutions they work with, and how the organisation fits in the wider research network.
  • Linked to their funded projects
    See all grants the organisation has been part of. Across all major European and national funders.

Developer API

The OpenAIRE Graph is open. Build on it.

Every record in Explore is available through a clean REST API. An API key is required for access - but registration is free, instant and has no approval process.

  • Free API key - register in seconds
    An API key is required for all access. Registration is free, open to everyone and has no approval process - you get your key immediately.
  • Search by DOI, ORCID, ROR or grant ID
    Filter by grant ID, organisation ROR, or researcher ORCID. Mix and match.
  • Bulk download the whole graph, CC-BY
    Zenodo as JSON and Parquet, openly licensed, no negotiations. Also accessible via Google BigQuery through the ORION DBs community initiative.

Research Impact

See what research
is doing for the world.

Every record in Explore is classified by Field of Science and mapped to the UN Sustainable Development Goals - automatically, using AI. For the first time you can ask not just "what was published?" but "what did it contribute to?"

215M+ papers mapped to the 17 SDGs

Research aligned with global sustainability goals

SDG research mapping

The classification scheme was developed specifically for the UN SDGs, mapping research contributions towards complex global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and poverty reduction.

Fields of Science taxonomy - built into every record

Fields of Science taxonomy - built into every record

Using full-texts, citations, references and venue signals, we apply AI to classify every paper by its field - and surface any multidisciplinary potential. So a paper on AI-assisted drug discovery doesn't get lost in either Computer Science or Biology alone.
