Each institutional affiliation that this author has claimed will be listed here: the raw affiliation string that we found, along with the OpenAlexInstitution ID or IDs that we matched it to.

This information will be redundant withinstitutions below, but is useful if you need to know about what we used to match institutions.

affiliations: [    {        raw_affiliation_string:"Scholarly Communications Lab, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada",        institution_ids: ["https://openalex.org/I18014758"        ]    }]

author

String: An author of this work, as a dehydratedAuthor object.

Note that, sometimes, we assign ORCID usingauthor disambiguation, so the ORCID we associate with an author was not necessarily included with this work.

author: {    id:"https://openalex.org/A5085171399",    display_name:"Juan Pablo Alperin",    orcid:"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9344-7439"}

author_position

String: A summarized description of this author's position in the work's author list. Possible values arefirst,middle, andlast.

It's not strictly necessary, because author order is already implicitly recorded by the list order ofAuthorship objects; however it's useful in some contexts to have this as a categorical value.

We determine the countries using a combination of matched institutions and parsing of the raw affiliation strings, so we can have this information for some authors even if we do not have a specific institutional affiliation.
