A source-preserving living dataset of psilocybin and psilocin publications, preprints, and trial records

This archive contains version 1.0.3 of the dataset described in the accompanying manuscript, A source-preserving living dataset of psilocybin and psilocin publications, preprints, and trial records. Version 1.0.3 replaces the previously published version 1.0.2 archive with a verified complete archive, updates internal citation metadata to reference the Zenodo DOI assigned to this version, and incorporates final manuscript table presentation corrections. The underlying SQLite dataset snapshot and record set are unchanged. Version 1.0.2 updated the internal citation metadata and README to reference the Zenodo DOI assigned to that version. The dataset records, derived exports, validation outputs, and archived manuscript snapshot were otherwise unchanged from version 1.0.1. Version 1.0.1 incorporated minor curation refinements, restored eligible records supported by explicit psilocybin or psilocin evidence, removed two non-scholarly PDF-download artefacts, added optional curation-audit files, and updated archive checksum metadata. The dataset is a fixed, citable snapshot of public metadata describing research publications, preprints, and clinical trial records related to psilocybin and psilocin. It integrates metadata harvested from multiple public sources, including PubMed, Europe PMC, Crossref, OpenAlex, ClinicalTrials.gov, medRxiv, bioRxiv, and PsyArXiv. Records are normalized into a reproducible SQLite database while preserving source-specific metadata, publication status, persistent identifiers, and associated source metadata. The archive also includes derived exports (CSV, JSON, BibTeX, RIS), validation outputs, figures, documentation, reproducibility scripts, checksums, licensing information, and citation metadata. This archived release represents the fixed dataset snapshot analysed in the accompanying manuscript. The live Psilocybin Research Tracker continues to evolve independently and may therefore contain additional records, metadata updates, and software enhancements beyond this archived version.
