Open Access Intelligence

Know the real-world impact
of your Open Access content.

Scholaris aggregates data from OpenAlex, Unpaywall, COUNTER/IRUS, and Crossref into clear, actionable OA impact reports — so your institution spends time on decisions, not data wrangling.

01

Unified usage intelligence

No data wrangling

Stop wrestling with disparate spreadsheets from COUNTER, IRUS, and institutional repositories. One clean dashboard surfaces what your content is doing — globally.

02

Prove OA value to funders

Evidence-based advocacy

Surface citation links, geographic reach, disciplinary spread, and altmetrics drawn entirely from open data — giving you the evidence to justify OA mandates.

03

Fully open, auditable data

Transparent methodology

No black-box proprietary indexes. Every metric traces back to openly licensed sources — OpenAlex, Unpaywall, Crossref, DOAJ — so your reporting is fully reproducible.
