An integrated living dataset of psilocybin and psilocin publications, preprints, and trial records

This archive contains Version 1.0.6 of the dataset described in the accompanying manuscript, An integrated living dataset of psilocybin and psilocin publications, preprints, and trial records. The dataset is a fixed, citable snapshot of public metadata describing research publications, preprints, and clinical trial records related to psilocybin and psilocin. It combines metadata harvested from multiple public sources, including PubMed, Europe PMC, Crossref, OpenAlex, ClinicalTrials.gov, medRxiv, bioRxiv, and PsyArXiv. Records are normalized into a reproducible SQLite database while preserving source-specific metadata, publication status, persistent identifiers, and provenance. The archive also includes derived exports (CSV, JSON, BibTeX, and RIS), review and validation tables, figures, documentation, reproducibility and analysis scripts, checksums, licensing information, and citation metadata. Public records include bibliographic or registry metadata, source labels and links, publication and registry identifiers, publication status, dates, rule-based topic and study-type labels, text-availability indicators, and selected factual metadata documenting the retained source. To respect the licensing and terms of the original data providers, source-derived abstracts, registry descriptions, keywords, and unrestricted source payloads are not redistributed. The Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence applies only to compiler-held rights in the dataset's selection and arrangement, original normalization and annotations, validation outputs, and documentation. Third-party bibliographic metadata remain subject to the applicable licences and terms of their respective source providers.
