# OpenAlex Database
## Overview
OpenAlex is a comprehensive open catalog of 240M+ scholarly works, authors, institutions, topics, sources, publishers, and funders. This skill provides tools and workflows for querying the OpenAlex API to search literature, analyze research output, track citations, and conduct bibliometric studies.
## Quick Start
### Basic Setup
Always initialize the client with an email address to access the polite pool (10x rate limit boost):
```python
from scripts.openalex_client import OpenAlexClient
