How this service works
Author metrics for research agents and grant/hiring due-diligence — works count, total citations, h-index and i10-index (OpenAlex summary stats), a 10-year output/citation trend, affiliation timeline, and an honest disambiguation-confidence flag when the name search surfaces multiple plausible candidate profiles.
Output
Returns OpenAlex-sourced summary statistics for the matched author: total works count, total citations, h-index, i10-index, a year-by-year 10-year breakdown of output and citations, a chronological affiliation timeline, and a disambiguation confidence flag indicating whether a unique profile was matched or multiple plausible candidates were surfaced.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Pull up the author metrics for Dr. Maria Elena Vasquez — I need her h-index, i10-index, total citations, works count, 10-year output and citation trends, and her affiliation timeline for a grant review I'm doing.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://citepulse.theaslangroupllc.com/api/authorWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured bibliometric profile data for a specific researcher by name — particularly for grant due diligence, hiring evaluation, or research agent workflows that need h-index, citation counts, i10-index, and career trajectory in a single call. Prefer this over raw OpenAlex queries when you also need the disambiguation confidence flag to detect name ambiguity, or when you want the 10-year trend and affiliation timeline pre-computed without additional processing.
Side effects
- Ambiguous author name matches multiple profiles — returns low disambiguation confidence flag with multiple candidate profiles rather than a single result
- Author not found in OpenAlex — returns empty or null result
- Name too common to resolve — disambiguation confidence is very low and results may be unreliable
- Network or upstream OpenAlex API failure — returns 5xx error
- Malformed or missing query parameter — returns 4xx validation error
