OpenAlex competes with commercial databases such as Clarivate's Web of Science or Elsevier's Scopus. An open version of the Leiden University Ranking has been published based on OpenAlex database. Sorbonne University in France has withdrawn from the Web of Science database and started cooperation with the OpenAlex database. In addition, the French Higher Education and the Ministry of Science have committed to a multi-year collaboration aimed at developing the OpenAlex database. In Finland, CSC, together with the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Research Council of Finland, is preparing OpenAlex data for the Vipunen service. The plan is to produce impact indicators for Finnish research organizations based on OpenAlex data during 2025, similar to those available based on the Web of Science data.
