OpenAlex Search Skill

Query the OpenAlex open academic metadata API for works, authors, institutions, and concepts.

When to Use

• "Find papers by this author"
• "What institution produces the most research in X?"
• "Show citation data for this paper"
• "Map concepts related to this topic"
• "Find open access papers on..."

When NOT to Use

• Full-text paper access (use semantic-scholar or direct PDF)
• Biomedical-specific search (use pubmed-search)
• Pre-print focused search (use arxiv-search)
• DOI resolution only (use crossref-search)
