This dataset contains impact metrics and indicators for a set of publications that are related to the COVID-19 infectious disease and the coronavirus that causes it. It is based on the CORD-19 dataset released by the team of Semantic Scholar in response to the relevant, ongoing pandemic:
COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19). 2020. Version 2020-03-13. Retrieved from https://pages.semanticscholar.org/coronavirus-research. Accessed 2020-03-18. doi:10.5281/zenodo.3715506
These data have been cleaned and integrated with data from other sources (e.g., PMC). The result was a subset of the COVID-19 dataset (23,222 unique articles). We constructed the underlying citation network and utilized it to produce, for each article, the values of the following impact measures, using the PaperRanking (https://github.com/diwis/PaperRanking) library1:
- Citation-based influence: This is based on the PageRank2 network analysis method. In the context of citation networks, it estimates the importance of each article based on its centrality in the network. Since it considers the whole network, it is an indicator of the impact in the long term.
- Citation-based popularity: This is based on the RAM3 citation network analysis method. Methods like PageRank are biased against recently published articles (new articles need time to receive their first citations). RAM alleviates this problem using an approach known as "time-awareness". This is why it is more suitable to capture the impact of a publication in the short term.
