Raw and aggregated data for the study introduced in the doctoral thesis "FRBRizing bibliographic references structures: an approach from in-text references pointers and SPAR Ontologies for describing bibliographic metadata"

This dataset contains all the raw data and aggregated data subject of the doctoral thesis "FRBRizing bibliographic references structures: an approach from in-text references pointers and SPAR Ontologies for describing bibliographic metadata". 

The study is based on the analysis of citing and referencing elements (i.e., bibliographic references, mentions, quotations, and respective in-text reference pointers) collected from a sample composed of 729 articles published in 147 journals from 27 thematic areas indexed by the SCImago Journal & Country Rank. The total sample overall rates are 34140 bibliographic references, 53461 mentions, and 1639 quotations. 

The dataset is composed of the following files:

The “Thesis_Raw_Data” file, contains the completely raw and aggregated data supporting this research. This dataset is composed of 30 sheets, whose contents are explicitly clarified below:

The sheet “Journals Selection” – contains the list of journals and articles selected for sample composition according to the criteria established in Chapter 6 – The methodology. Strikethrough contents mean the selected journals titles for which we could not get access and therefore, were replaced by the next journal in the SCImago rank attending the criteria for journals selection.

The sheet “Articles Data Compilation” – contains the raw and aggregated data gathered from the analysis of the journals and articles composing the sample.

The sheet “Chart 14 - Starred Metadata Set” file – contains the raw and aggregated data gathered from the analysis of the bibliographic references composing the bibliographic references lists of the articles composing the sample. This analysis supported the establishment of the “starred metadata set” and corresponds to Chart 14 of this study.

All the 27 remaining sheets – The 27 remaining sheets whose titles correspond to the 27 subject areas considered in this study contain the raw and aggregated data from the analysis of articles in each particular discipline corresponding to the respective sheet.

The “Chart 14 - Starred Metadata Set” file is a copy of the Sheet addressed in the first Excel file, that has the same name. As previously approached, this sheet contains Chart 14, which was separately considered in this file, since it directly integrates the content of the text body of the Session 7.3.2 of this study.

Lastly, considering that the content of the FaBiO Ontology may be updated and, considering its huge extension, the version of the Ontology considered for the analysis supporting this study is available at the file entitled “ANNEX I - FaBiO, the FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology”, which represents the content of FaBiO Ontology as it was available in Peroni and Shotton (2019), on May 11th, 2021.
