CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice: OpenAlex for Research Analytics

In April 2025, the CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice hosted a presentation and discussion on OpenAlex for Research Analytics with invited speaker Kyle Demes. Institutions of all shapes and sizes rely on data about the activities, outputs, and impacts of their researchers, as well as those at other institutions, to drive their research strategy. Historically, this data was only available through costly subscriptions to proprietary databases. Now, all of this is possible with completely open databases, but there aren’t yet many practical training opportunities with these tools. In this workshop, Kyle introduces OpenAlex as a source for research analytics and walks through common use analytics cases using OpenAlex. Using data to make better decisions drives Kyle Demes. A former marine ecologist, he has spent the last decade working with governments and universities on developing and implementing data-driven research strategies. As Chief Operating Officer of OurResearch, he is working to build and sustain an open index of the world’s research ecosystem to ensure that analytics informing research strategies can be open and transparent. His spare time is split between his communities and the shorelines and mountains near Vancouver. About the Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice Established in 2023, the Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice (CoP) brings together library workers and other colleagues from Canadian academic institutions working or interested in the areas of bibliometric and research impact assessment. The goals of the CoP are to share information and grow expertise and capacity across Canada by connecting colleagues interested in bibliometric tools, data, governance, management, or administration through meetings, workshops, community calls, and informal information sharing.
