Publish-Review-Curate Platform Dataset - harvested source records (Crossref works and peer reviews, Sciety docmaps)

This archive contains the harvested source records behind one extraction run (run_20261027_01) of the Publish–Review–Curate (PRC) Platform Dataset. The dataset is register-based: it gives annual counts of unique research works entering publish-first and open-review workflows, and of works receiving public review or curation after initial publication, compiled from the Crossref REST API and Sciety docmaps. Its rows are publication series rather than organisations and are classified on two axes: initiation class and PRC configuration. Every count is published with its eligible year range and an explicit data status. The repository tracks the configuration, documentation, data-quality log, page manifests, and published tables and figures. Harvested third-party records are not tracked there; under decision D-056, they are deposited here instead. The archive holds data/processed/records_*.csv (normalised source records for each register row); works_included.csv (work-level inclusion, exclusion reasons and counting dates); normalisation_summary.json; analysis_manifest.json; the interim extraction files in data/interim/; and a copy of data/manifests/run_20261027_01/, which records the SHA-256 digest and terminal state of every accepted page and walk and includes the Sciety index snapshot used to verify source coverage. SHA256SUMS.txt lists the SHA-256 digest of each of the 273 files. The SHA-256 digest of the archive itself is recorded in the repository at reports/release_archive_run_20261027_01.sha256. Crossref records were retrieved on 2026-10-27 and 2026-10-28, and Sciety docmaps on 2026-10-28. The records are redistributed as retrieved and reflect the state of the sources on those dates. The archive corresponds to repository commit fd1919e and dataset version 1.4.0. Counts, methods, limitations and the decision log are documented in the repository; this deposit exists so that every published number can be traced back to the retrieved records. Third-party content. Bibliographic metadata retrieved from the Crossref REST API (DOIs, record types, dates, relations, titles, container titles) is factual and redistributed as retrieved; Crossref-generated data is CC0. Docmap metadata retrieved from Sciety (DOIs, dates, evaluating groups, evaluation URLs) is redistributed with attribution to Sciety (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd). No abstracts or evaluation texts are included. The compilation, normalised fields, inclusion decisions and page manifests are the author's work under CC BY 4.0. The analytical code was written with the assistance of Perplexity. All design, classification and data-handling decisions were taken by the researcher, who reviewed the code and its outputs and bears final responsibility for the integrity of the data.
