Hi Francisco, An open source alternative would use the semantic scholar api ( https://www.semanticscholar.org/product/api) and mysql to store the data in tables. Then use jq within your sql query to grab what data you need. I believe that mysql 5.0+ allows you to query the json directly within the sql query. I am currently working on a paper using this exact workflow. I hope this helps a bit. warm regards, Darnelle [image: UNLV Logo] <http://unlv.edu/> Darnelle O.
