<strong>Validation data for the <em>Astro</em> scientific publication clustering benchmark dataset</strong> This is the dataset used in the publication Donner, P. "Validation of the Astro dataset clustering solutions with external data", Scientometrics, DOI 10.1007/s11192-020-03780-3 Certain data included herein are derived from Clarivate Web of Science. © Copyright Clarivate 2020. All rights reserved. Published with permission from Clarivate. The original <em>Astro</em> dataset is not contained in this data. It can be obtained from http://topic-challenge.info/ and requires permission from Clarivate Analytics for use. This dataset collection consists of four files. Each file contains an independent dataset that relates to the Astro dataset via Web of Science (WoS) record identifiers. These identifiers are called UTs. All files are tabular data in CSV format. In each, at least one column contains UT data. This should be used to link to the <em>Astro </em>dataset or other WoS data. The datasets are discussed in detail in the journal publication.
