Diversity - PubMed dataset
Contact: Apratim Mishra (March 22, 2024)

This dataset presents article-level (pmid) and author-level (auid) diversity data for PubMed articles. The selection chosen includes articles retrieved from Authority 2018 [1], a total of 228 040 papers and 440 310 authors. The sample of papers is based on the top 40 journals in the dataset, limited to 2-10 authors published between 1990 – 2010, and stratified on paper count per year. Additionally, this dataset is limited to papers where the lead author is affiliated with one of the four countries: the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia. Files are encoded with ‘utf-8’.
