We know how important having a development roadmap is to our users and we’re committed to creating one so that you know what we’re working on and where we’re going.
At the moment, we are working on a complete re-write of the OpenAlex guts code to pay back technical debt that has prevented us from moving forward. It’s all hands on deck but we’re hoping to launch the first part of this re-write (which focuses on Unpaywall data) at the end of April, 2025. Once the re-write is complete, we’ll create a public roadmap.
For now, the best way to keep up to date with our developments is to come to our quarterly townhalls, where CEO Jason Priem gives an update on recent development, on-going work, and future priorities.
You can sign-up for the next townhall here: Webinars – OpenAlex or watch recordings of recent townhalls on our YouTube page.
