Sorbonne University's open science policy is reflected in its firm stance in negotiations with commercial publishers, its strong support for the HAL open archive and its encouragement of open access to research data. As it is developing open access to publications and research results and enabling its academic community to regain control over the results of their own work and opening up science to society, promoting open research information about its publications and scientific output is a priority. Sorbonne University has therefore decided to discontinue its subscription to the Web of Science database and Clarivate's bibliometric tools in 2024. Furthermore, Sorbonne University has decided to redirect its efforts towards the exploration of open, free and participative tools. This decision is in line with the University’s overall policy of openness, and it is now working to consolidate a sustainable, international alternative, in particular by using OpenAlex <https://openalex.org/>. Om OpenAlex Inspired by the ancient library of Alexandria, OpenAlex catalogs 250M scholarly works, along with their citations, authors, institutional affiliations, and more — and we're 100% free and open source. OpenAlex is a free index of the world's research ecosystem. It's made by OurResearch <https://ourresearch.org/> with support from Arcadia <https://www.arcadiafund.org.uk/>—a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin. https://openalex.org/ Man kan inte annat än lyfta på hatten för svenska Lisbet Rausing och Sorbonne University, ett toppuniversitet i Europa för deras insatser för fritt tillgänglig forskning för alla Jan -- Jan Szczepański F.d Förste bibliotekarie och chef för f.d Avdelningen för humaniora, vid f.d.
