<p>Citations are the bridges that enable people to pass from one
scholarly work (e.g. a conference paper) to others (e.g. journal
articles and book chapters). At present, the unrestricted travel over
the entire network of bridges by using existing services requires one to
pay an expensive fee, which is affordable only by rich professionals –
such universities or other research institutes. The general populace is
excluded.</p>
<p><br></p><p>In this paper, we introduce the OpenCitations Corpus, an
open repository of scholarly citation data available in RDF and
published according to the FAIR principles, which is an attempt to
provide open bridges between scholarly works.</p>
