📈 Better data, better discovery

Our PubMed integration now uses Crossref citations for more accurate research overviews.

Citations determine the scale of both research areas and documents on our PubMed maps.

🤝 Responsible research assessment is key to advancing open science.

That’s why we’ve joined CoARA - to help foster assessment practices that support a more inclusive and equitable research system 🌍

We're excited to be part of this movement for change! ✨

🚀 Introducing VisConnect - our new AI-powered service for responsible research assessment.

Developed with @ituaustria.bsky.social, VisConnect delivers rich, visual researcher profiles. Check out the announcement & a live example map: openknowledgemaps.org/news/2025/07...

#OpenScience #DORA #CoARA
Illustration of the VisConnect service by Open Knowledge Maps. On the left, a visual map shows a researcher’s work organised by topic, with a robot icon symbolising AI assistance. On the right, key features are highlighted: a topical overview of key themes, scaling by impact metrics like citations and social media mentions, a structured researcher biography with career highlights, and a configurable overview of traditional and alternative metrics. The image illustrates how VisConnect combines visualisation and analytics for research assessment.
