Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free to use?

Yes! The Research Topics word cloud generator 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. Topics are automatically assigned to works based on their content.

How are topics counted?

Each publication can have multiple topics assigned. We count how many times each topic appears across all your publications, so the most common topics appear larger in the word cloud.
