OpenAlex is starting an advisory board! I have been working with them this past year and I think it would be great to have an opportunity to provide guidance more formally. If you use Research Information in any way, please vote for me (and other great candidates): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5EQT6X05CtpiIhALKNFNTbcPrme9wVmynhiHZ2XeVFamD1A/viewform
