Post #734488

I am downloading the OpenAlex bibliometric dataset with the intention to shove it into PostgreSQL and run queries. Is this what my bibliometrics professor has in mind? No. Is it easier than picking a different research problem? Also no. But will going the extra mile to manipulate the data at this low and thorough level be reflected in the marks I receive on the assignment? No. Will I use this opportunity to critique the lack of expressiveness in bibliographic database query tools? Maybe, it does have another 20 hours of downloading, I could probably squeeze in a rant.
