Somewhere there is a study on exactly what you are worrying about tonight. This course teaches you to find it and to read it, not the headline about it: six lessons on the indexes that hold the world's science, CrossRef, arXiv, OpenAlex, PubMed and the rest, with no university badge and no code of your own. You leave able to tell a real journal from a fake one and a finding from a press release.
- 1The CrossRef API
You count how many journal articles carry a word in their title, follow a DOI fingerprint to the page, and see what the registry gives free.free - 2The arXiv API
You leave with the newest unchecked papers on a question of your own, saved in a file, and one open on the desk read by you first.subscribe - 3The OpenAlex API
You pull a field's most-cited papers from OpenAlex yourself, follow who built on them, and see why two counters give two honest numbers.subscribe - 4The DOAJ API
You search a Spanish-language open-access journal directory by title, read the encoded address back, and count the results to check the free-access promise.subscribe - 5The PubMed API
You ask PubMed twice, keep the breath between, and read off the run how much of the medical literature is free to anyone.subscribe - 6The Library of Congress API
You count what the Library of Congress holds on one word, learn which of its two numbers is the answer, and check a machine's reading against the print.subscribe
