Mapping Environmental Science
An OpenAlex Review

https://doi.org/10.29173/cais1992Abstract
We reviewed the concepts in OpenAlex under the level 0 Environmental Science category. Using a mixed methods analysis, we graphed the concepts using GraphViz and compared the connections between subcategories with other categorization systems. The problems that leaped out at us were hierarchization, redundancy, and relevance issues, which could make it more challenging to stumble upon relevant information in environmental science research.
