  "abstract": "<p>In recent years, scholarly data sets have been used for various purposes, such as paper recommendation, citation recommendation, citation context analysis, and citation context-based document summarization. The evaluation of approaches to such tasks and their applicability in real-world scenarios heavily depend on the used data set. However, existing scholarly data sets are limited in several regards.</p>\n\n<p>Here, we propose a new <strong>data set based on all publications from all scientific disciplines available on arXiv.org</strong>. Apart from providing the <strong>papers&#39; plain text</strong>, <strong>in-text citations were annotated</strong> via global identifiers. Furthermore, citing and cited publications were linked to the <strong>Microsoft Academic Graph</strong>, providing access to rich metadata. Our data set consists of <strong>over one million documents and 29.2 million citation contexts</strong>. The data set, which is made freely available for research purposes, not only can enhance the future evaluation of research paper-based and citation context-based approaches but also serve as a basis for new ways to analyze in-text citations.</p>\n\n<p>This <strong>updated version</strong> (v3) of our data set is based on all arXiv publications until 2020-07-31 and on the Microsoft Academic Graph as of 2020-08-18. As additional contribution, we included a table with the publication date and the scientific discipline for each paper for easier filtering.</p>\n\n<p>See <a href=\"https://github.com/IllDepence/unarXive\">https://github.com/IllDepence/unarXive</a> for the <strong>source code</strong> which has been used for creating the data set.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Usage examples</strong> for our data set are provided at <a href=\"https://github.com/IllDepence/unarXive#usage-examples\">https://github.com/IllDepence/unarXive#usage-examples</a>.</p>\n\n<p>For <strong>citing</strong> our data set and for further information we can refer to our journal article</p>\n\n<p><em>Tarek Saier, Michael F&auml;rber: &quot;<a href=\"https://www.aifb.kit.edu/images/f/f9/UnarXive_Scientometrics2020.pdf\">unarXive: A Large Scholarly Data Set with Publications&rsquo; Full-Text, Annotated In-Text Citations, and Links to Metadata</a>&quot;, Scientometrics, 2020, <a href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11192-020-03382-z\">http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11192-020-03382-z</a>.</em></p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;</p>",
