Patent Citations to Science

This dataset contains citations from USPTO patents granted 1947-2018 to articles captured by the Microsoft Academic Graph (ID) from 1800-2018.  

The main file, pcs.tsv, contains the resolved citations. Fields are tab-separated. Each match has the patent number, MAG ID, the original citation from the patent, an indicator for whether the citation was supplied by the applicant, examiner, or unknown, and a confidence score (1-10) indicating how likely this match is correct. Note that this distribution does not contain matches with confidence 2 or 1.

The remaining files are a redistribution of the 1 January 2019 release of the Microsoft Academic Graph. All of these files are compressed using ZIP compression under CentOS5. Original files, documented in the ADLS PDF document, can be downloaded from https://aka.ms/msracad; this redistribution carves up the original files into smaller, variable-specific files that can be loaded individually (see reliance_on_science.pdf for full details, the latest version of which is available at https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3331686).
