Anyone know where ORE documents will be discoverable, beyond ORE itself?
Lens
OpenAlex
Europe PMC
Google Scholar
Scopus
Web of Science Research Commons
Dimensions
Or what Fediverse account or blog I should be using to find out, as ORE develops?

ORE is indexed in the major databases, e.g., PubMed:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=%22Open+Res+Eur%22%5Bjour%5D&sort=date&sort_order=desc

I know it's in OpenAlex, so from this sample I'd assume the papers are findable most everyhwere.

I'm a bit sad @EUCommission hasn't posted about this, yet. Eventually, ORE should get a Mastodon presence, one would hope.

Hmm
At https://open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/browse there are 1275 records.
In PubMed at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?sort=date&term=%22Open+Res+Eur%22%5BJournal%5D there are 822 records.
In PMC at https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/search/?term=%22Open%20Res%20Eur%22%5Bjournal%5D there are 816 records.
Not sure why PMC is smaller than PubMed, but I can make some guesses about why neither of them has as many records as the journal website. I wonder if PubMed is only indexing articles that have been reviewed, or articles associated with NIH funding?

@nyhan @EUCommission

The general rule is to only index papers once they have passed peer-review, i.e., at least two reviewers agreeing on giving the manuscript a thumbs-up. I think it was F1000Research that started this scheme and sicne they have been runing ORE for the last 5 years, I'd assume this is where this comes from.
