What is a PXA file?

PXA files mostly belong to Publish or Perish. PXA files are specialized data files used by the Publish or Perish tool for citation analysis.
They store structured information about publication records and citation metrics, which the software uses to generate detailed research reports.
Key points summarized by FilExt.com include:
  • They are designed to hold bibliometric data.
  • The internal format is meant for use with the Publish or Perish application only.
  • Manual editing is not recommended because the structure is specific to the tool.
  • FilExt.com tip: For more details and support, please visit the official Publish or Perish website.

    How can I open a PXA file?

    You need a suitable software like Publish or Perish to open a PXA file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your PXA file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PXA file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
