How this service works
Research institution profile by name: type, country, works, citations, h-index and top research topics.
Output
Returns a structured profile for the best-matching institution, including its OpenAlex/ROR identifier, institution type (e.g. education, government), country, total works, total citations, h-index, two-year mean citedness, top research topics, a summary, homepage URL, source URL, match confidence, and optional disambiguation fields like other possible matches and reasons for the verdict. May include a degraded flag if data is partial.
Example use cases
Evaluating a university's research output
“What are the publication count, citation count, and h-index for MIT? I'm trying to assess how research-productive they are.”
Identifying a journal's institutional source
“Can you look up the institution profile for the Max Planck Society — I need to know what country it's in, what type of institution it is, and what research topics it focuses on?”
Comparing top research universities
“Get me the research metrics for Caltech — specifically their works count, h-index, and top research topics — so I can compare them with other leading technical universities.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://research-papers.x402tookit.com/institution-profile?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, structured academic profile for a research institution by name, including bibliometric indicators like h-index and citation counts sourced from OpenAlex. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable data with ROR identifiers and topic breakdowns rather than free-text descriptions. Best suited for agent workflows that need to enrich institution records, assess research output, or disambiguate institutional affiliations.
Side effects
- Institution name too ambiguous — returns otherMatches list with disambiguation needed
- Institution not found in OpenAlex — returns null fields with a no-match verdict
- Name misspelling or abbreviation unrecognized — low match confidence or wrong institution returned
- Partial data availability — degraded flag set to true with missing fields null
- Network timeout or upstream OpenAlex API failure — service unavailable response
