Sankore

Named after the University of Sankore in Timbuktu — one of the world’s oldest centres of learning. Every figure here is computed from work-level records in our own graph, never copied from a source’s summary count.

Built from

OpenAlex — works, authorships, subject classification
ROR — institutional identity

What we cover

Coverage is partial and says so. A country appears with its research output only once its works have been swept; until then the portal shows whatever the graph happens to hold for it and labels it as exactly that.
