README

OpenAlex for glitchr/omnischolar: a researcher's profile with their counts (works, citations, h-index, i10-index, by year) and the institutions seen on their works; their works with abstracts, citation counts and open-access links; any work by its OpenAlex id, DOI or PubMed id; a search. No key needed.

$openalex = (new OpenAlexSourceFactory($http))->create(['mailto' => '[e-mail]']);
$openalex->author('A5108007452')->metrics->hIndex;                      // 51
$openalex->works('A5108007452', new Query(from: 2024, to: 2024));       // a Page of Work
$openalex->work('10.1039/d4sc04973j');
