MDPI Open Peer Review Corpus 2

MDPI Open Peer Review Corpus 2Section for Logic & Cognitive Science, Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy of ScienceCognitive Metascience LabGenerated by Ksawery Jasieński, with some input from Remigiusz Depta, under supervision of Marcin Miłkowski (2022-2023)---MDPI is committed to open peer review idea, but these are voluntary. They are not available for download in a single package, so they must be crawled from their website.This dataset contains all peer reviews available on mdpi.com as of January 2023, covering over 135 thousand papers. These are in plaintext format (look for TXT files). In addition, the corpus contains metadata in JSON format for particular reviews, author responses, as well as original paper metadata. For reference see the JSON `schema` files available in the GitHub repository associated with this project.Additionally, this dataset contains the source HTML for each website from which the text of reviews was extracted, as well as any supplementary materials attached with the reviews. The original files were not enriched with any linguistic annotation or converted to any format (these are predominantly PDF and DOCX files, as uploaded through the MDPI editorial system by authors and reviewers).We are making source code available for the dedicated crawler that was built to scrape the MDPI database. See the GitHub link below:https://github.com/cognitive-metascience/review_crawler/tree/main/crawlingSee this corpus on PubPeer:https://pubpeer.com/publications/25353AAFD4FC52E2BEC8C7AD08B259#---This dataset is split into parts because of the upload limits of this repository. The archives are available in ZIP (33 parts, look for `.z[01-33]` files) and 7z (23 parts) formats. In addition, we provide the set of excluded articles with incomplete information (e.g., missing some reviews in the first round etc.) in the `mdpi-dump-dir.zip` file.The dataset after unpacking is a little over 170 GB in size.The files are being made available under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).Changelogcurrent version - August 2023no new reviews addedre-scraped (June 2023) the reviews that had some sections of text missingdataset now also includes the source HTML from mdpi.com for each reviewed article.
