Sorbonne University has been deeply committed to the promotion and the development of open science for many years. According to its commitment to open research information, it has decided to discontinue its subscription to the Web of Science publication database and Clarivate bibliometric tools in 2024. By resolutely abandoning the use of proprietary bibliometric products, it is opening the way for open, free and participative tools.

They said they would use OpenAlex instead, but cannot find a way to use the openalex.org website in any meaningful way. I can't even search for an article in the database. Am I being thick?

Never mind, you need to click on "Filter", select a particular filter and then input your search keywords. Not super intuitive, but it does work.
