OpenCorporates is a proud supporter of academic research and has been a core resource relied upon by researchers and investigators. While our online platform remains free for all, we collaborate with researchers so they can use our Open Data API & do custom data extracts on request. We believe open data and company information has a lot of value for the wider society. The following is a list of published articles and reports that use opencorporates. We appreciate the work done by others but take no responsibility for the content.
