UMass Amherst preprints

Every preprint OpenAlex knows about with at least one UMass Amherst author, wherever it was posted. About 4,600 records across a dozen servers.

Source

OpenAlex, institution I24603500, filtered to type:preprint. Cursor-paged, roughly 25 requests. Abstracts are rebuilt from OpenAlex's inverted index.

Why this is its own collection

It is not UMass's data. The owner, the licence and the failure modes are all different from ScholarWorks, and it changes on OpenAlex's schedule rather than on deposit. It is also the only view of output that never reached the repository, which is the thing the other three collections cannot see by construction.

The cross-check worth knowing about

OpenAlex records which repositories hold a copy of each work, and it names ScholarWorks among them for a few hundred of these. That claim is carried verbatim in openalexRepositoryCopies and flagged as openalexInScholarWorks. It is not used as the answer. umass/holdings does its own join against the actual catalogue and reports where the two disagree, in both directions.

OpenAlex carries two separate source records for the UMass repository, S4306402240 and S4306402057, which is a duplicate on their side. Both count as ScholarWorks here.
