Review of OpenStreetMap research publications from 2016 to 2019

This dataset consists of a <strong>review of research publications about the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project </strong>published from 2016 to 2019. The dataset was obtained as follows. First, papers published between 2016 and 2019 were extracted using Google Scholar with a query identifying all records with at least one of the keywords “OpenStreetMap” and “OSM” in the title. The extracted records were further filtered to only keep papers having a minimum length of 4 pages and published in academic journals or conference proceedings. In addition, irrelevant papers (e.g. using “OSM” as an acronym for another purpose) and non-English papers were removed from the dataset. The remaining paper were then analyzed and manually classified. The attributes included in the dataset are the following: <strong>id</strong> [paper ID] <strong>Paper Citation </strong>[citation of the paper] <strong>Authors’ disciplines</strong> — multiplicity: 1-7; allowed values: computer science, informatics, social sciences, geo-information, engineering, exact sciences, interdisciplinary <strong>Journal’s discipline</strong> — multiplicity: 1; allowed values: computer science, informatics, social sciences, geo-information, engineering, exact sciences, interdisciplinary <strong>Topic(s)</strong> — multiplicity: 1:10; allowed values: application, data quality, contribution behaviours, analyzing contributions, contributors, shaping contributions, OSM effects, data enrichment, development, review <strong>Authors' Geography (countries) </strong>— multiplicity: 1:n; allowed values: [list of countries] <strong>Authors' Geography (continents) </strong>— multiplicity: 1:n; allowed values: [list of continents] <strong>Study Area Geography (countries)</strong> — multiplicity: 1:n; allowed values: [list of countries], [list of continents], Global, NA <strong>Geographic Correspondence</strong>— multiplicity: 1; allowed values: no correspondence, partial affiliation/partial location, partial affiliation/full location , full correspondence, NA <strong>Perspective on the community</strong> — multiplicity: 1; allowed values: OSM as a data source, data produced by contributors, a collaborative project based on contributors, contributors producing data, a unified community, a diverse community, a social product <strong>Evidence of engagement </strong>— multiplicity: 1-8; allowed values: none, acknowledgement, meaningful development, occasional development, object of study - direct, object of study - indirect, contribution, participation <strong>General comments </strong>[comments on the paper]
