About Open UTD

A small, open research commons.

Open UTD brings journal metadata and publishing experiences into one readable, searchable catalog.

What you can find

The collection covers the 24 journals used in the UT Dallas business research rankings, with a target window beginning in 2006. Journal pages connect issue archives, articles, and a public discussion about publishing in that journal, with a separate discussion on every article. More journals can be added through the registry.

Independent by design

This is an independent, open-source project. It is not affiliated with UT Dallas, INFORMS, or any listed journal. Inclusion is not a ranking or endorsement. Personal submission experiences are not representative statistics.

A catalog that can be checked

Article records come primarily from Crossref. Each record links to its original source and shows its metadata update date. Coverage depends on what publishers deposit and may omit, delay, or misclassify records. The catalog does not host full papers.

Built in the open

The website is generated from a versioned SQLite snapshot and published through GitHub Actions. Search runs in your browser. Journal and article discussions are stored in GitHub Discussions, with stable journal identifiers keeping conversations connected as the site evolves.
