OpenAlex vs ORCID
Who’s behind each, what their homepages track, what they cost and how often their policies changed, measured the same way for both. By what they offer, they’re very close.
OpenAlex is a free, open bibliographic database that indexes scholarly works along with their authors, institutions, journals and topics. It can be searched through a web app, an API and bulk data downloads.
ORCID issues free persistent digital identifiers to researchers and maintains a registry that links them to their publications, grants, affiliations and other scholarly work, with integrations for publishers, funders and institutions.
