EXPLORE is built on the OpenAIRE Graph, one of the largest open scholarly record collections worldwide. Conceived as a public and transparent good, populated out of data sources trusted by scientists, the OpenAIRE Graph brings discovery, monitoring, and assessment of science back in the hands of the scientific community.

Within a constantly emerging scholarly communication environment, the OpenAIRE Graph is a moving target, continuously integrating new sources, new types or research objects, and embedding access measures. We therefore welcome the community to work with us to improve all its aspects: its coverage (geographic and thematic), quality (disambiguation and semantics) and access (APIs).

Find information about the OpenAIRE Graph, how to test it and contribute to improving it.
