Bibliographic dataset based on Scientometrics, including provenance information compliant with the OpenCitations Data Model

The dataset contains bibliographical information about scholarly works in the journal Scientometrics only if the DOI is known. The data was extracted via Crossref. It is a temporal dataset in which provenance information and change-tracking have been managed by adopting the OpenCitations Data Model. Moreover, the dataset contains information on all the cited academic works. Journals, bibliographic resources, and authors always appear unambiguously, without duplicates. Finally, heuristics have been applied to recover the DOI of the cited works in case Crossref did not provide such information.

The dataset is distributed as two journal files, one for the data and one for the provenance, readable via the triplestore Blazegraph. There are 4,960,087 data triples and 19,348,027 provenance triples, which corresponds to 1,134,545 entities and 2,696,689 snapshots. Therefore, on average, each entity has two snapshots. Among the data, there are 231,217 agent roles, 221,602 responsible agents, 206,003 bibliographic resources, 142,472 citations, 141,555 bibliographical references, 108,112 identifiers, and 83,584 resource embodiments.
