# OpenAlex Reader
```bash
pip install llama-index-readers-openalex
```
This loader will search for papers in OpenAlex and load them in llama-index. The main advantage of using OpenAlex is that you can search the full-text for Open Access papers as well.
## Usage
```python
from llama_index.readers.openalex import OpenAlexReader
openalex_reader = OpenAlexReader(email="shauryr@gmail.com")
query = "biases in large language models"
# changing this to full_text=True will let you search full-text
documents = openalex_reader.load_data(query, full_text=False)
```
## What can it do?
As shown in [demo.ipynb](demo.ipynb) we can get answers with citations.
```python
query = "biases in large language models"
response = query_engine.query(
"list the biases in large language models in a markdown table"
)
```
#### Output
| Source | Biases |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Source 1 | Data selection bias, social bias (gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, culture) |
| Source 2 | Biases of what is right and wrong to do, reflecting ethical and moral norms of society |
| Source 3 | Anti-Muslim bias |
| Source 6 | Gender bias |
| Source 9 | Anti-LGBTQ+ bias |
| Source 10 | Potential bias in the output |
