Travel-Time Enriched Affiliation Pair Dataset for the Scopus Co-Affiliation Metadata (Austria, 2013–2022)

This dataset complements the Scopus Dataset of Co-Affiliation Metadata for Research Publications in Austria (2013–2023) (10.5281/zenodo.17953805) by providing travel-time estimates between institutional affiliations. Travel times between affiliation pairs were calculated using a two-step approach: Geocoding: All affiliation addresses were converted to geographic coordinates in the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) reference frame using the Python geopy library. Routing: A local instance of the open-source Valhalla routing engine, which leverages OpenStreetMap data, was used to compute travel times between each affiliation pair. Dataset structure: affiliation_id_from: ID of the origin affiliation affiliation_id_to: ID of the destination affiliation distance_m: Geodesic distance between affiliations (meters) duration_s: Estimated travel time between affiliations (seconds)
