There are several places where you can start reading about Ricgraph:

• For a gentle introduction in Ricgraph, please read the reference publication: Rik D.T. Janssen (2024). Ricgraph: A flexible and extensible graph to explore research in context from various systems. SoftwareX, 26(101736). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2024.101736.
• You can read the general presentation about Ricgraph, presenting Ricgraph in a visual manner: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12634234.
• You can read the presentation explaining how to enrich the Research Information System Pure (and other source systems) using Ricgraph and BackToPure: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12634658. This presentation explains that after harvesting several Pures (from different institutions) and other source systems, such as OpenAlex, one can enrich its own Pure A by using information in other source systems, not present in one’s own Pure A.
• Extensive documentation and source code can be found on the Ricgraph documentation website, or in the GitHub repository.
• Explore publications, presentations, newsletters (to subscribe, go to Ricgraph Contact), projects with students, use, and mentions of Ricgraph.
