Data Citation Corpus Data File

Description

Data file for the first release of the Data Citation Corpus, produced by DataCite and Make Data Count as part of an ongoing grant project funded by the Wellcome Trust. Read more about the project.

The data file includes 10,006,058 data citation records in JSON and CSV formats. The JSON file is the version of record.

Version 1.0 of the corpus data file was released on January 30, 2024. Release v1.1 is an optimized version of v1.0 designed to make the original citation records more usable. No citations have been added to or removed from the dataset in v1.1. 

For convenience, the data file is provided in batches of approximately 1 million records each. The publication date and batch number are included in each component file name, ex: 2024-05-10-data-citation-corpus-01-v1.1.json.

The data citations in the file originate from DataCite Event Data and a project by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) to identify mentions to datasets in the full text of articles. 

Each data citation record  is comprised of:

  • A pair of identifiers: An identifier for the dataset (a DOI or an accession number) and the DOI of the publication object (journal article or preprint) in which the dataset is cited  

  • Metadata for the cited dataset and for the citing publication object

The data file includes the following fields:
