About OpenAire

OpenAIRE Explore helps users find and share linked research, including publications, research data and research software. It provides search across publications, data, software, projects, data sources and organizations, with browsing by Sustainable Development Goals and Fields of Science, and shows connections through citations and semantics to grants and organizations.

Users can deposit publications, data or software through an OpenAIRE-compatible repository or Zenodo, and can use the Link service to claim results from external sources to a grant or ORCID. Coverage is described as continuously integrating new sources, and some results may not be present without manual linking.
