Dataset: ORCID-Linked Labeled Data for Evaluating Author Name Disambiguation at Scale

This page contains four datasets released for the paper entitled "ORCID-Linked Labeled Data for Evaluating Author Name Disambiguation at Scale" to be published in Scientometrics (In print).
1. AUT_ORC.zip: this contains a list of 3M author name instances in MEDLINE linked to Author-ity2009.
2. AUT_NIH.zip: this contains a list of 313K author name instances in MEDLINE linked to NIH PI ID.
3. AUT_SCT_pairs.zip: this contains a list of 6.2M paper pairs and author byline positions in self-citation relation.
4. AUT-SCT_info.zip: this contains a list of 4.7M author name instances in self-citation relation as recorded in AUT_SCT_pairs. Information about an author name instance in AUT-SCT_pairs can be connected to AUT-SCT_info using the combination of PMID and Byline Position as a key.
Please see the paper for details on how the datasets were created.
