Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tool free to use?
Yes! Map My Co-Authors is completely free. No account or email required.
Where does the data come from?
We use OpenAlex, an open catalog of the world's scholarly papers, researchers, and institutions. OpenAlex indexes over 250 million works from sources including Crossref, PubMed, ORCID, and institutional repositories.
What if I can't find myself?
Try searching with different variations of your name. OpenAlex may have your publications listed under a slightly different name format. If you have an ORCID, ensuring it's linked to your publications can help improve your OpenAlex profile.
How are collaborations counted?
Each time a co-author appears on a paper with you, their institutional affiliation(s) are counted. If one co-author has worked with you on 10 papers, their institution is counted 10 times. This gives a more accurate picture of collaboration intensity.
Can I download my map?
Yes! Right-click on your map to save it as an SVG file. You can also share it directly via the unique link generated for your results.
