Replication data for Identifying science in the news

This data set contains the data and codebook required to replicate the study \"Identifying science in the news: An assessment of the precision and recall of Altmetric.com news mention data.\" It includes two data sets, both of which contain a collection of news stories published in the science and health sections of the following eight news media outlets during March-April 2021: The Guardian (Science Section), HealthDay, IFLScience, MedPage Today, News Medical, New York Times (Science Section), Popular Science, and Wired. The first data set (altmetric_dataset.csv) was obtained by downloading all of the news stories that mentioned research using the Altmetric Explorer. The second data set (content_analysis_dataset.csv) was obtained by collecting a random sample of 400 news stories from these 8 sources and manually identifying mentions of research within them. The codebook (news_mention_codebook.pdf) contains the coding instructions that were used to identify the mentions of research in content_analysis_dataset.csv.
