Description

This is a full archive of metadata about papers on arxiv.org from 1993-2018, including abstracts. Data is tidy and packed in TSV files, in two different collections of the total dataset: per year (all categories) and per primary category (all years). This archive also includes Jupyter notebooks for unpacking and analyzing it in python. See the README.md file and https://github.com/staeiou/arxiv_archive for more information.

Notes

Example usage Jupyter notebook

In the Jupyter notebook 4-analysis-examples.ipynb, the per_year datasets are unpacked and merged to one large dataframe, which is then analyzed in various ways. If you are looking to use this data to do an analysis on the entire Arxiv, you may find this notebook useful to start.
