The Oil Spill Paper Database: An in-depth survey of the oil spill literature showing trends since 1968 and changes since Deepwater Horizon

This dataset is a result of a broad literature survey of over 1200 manuscripts from 1968 to 2015. The dataset probes the distribution of work among various disciplines and the level of interdisciplinary work. The level of interest in chemical dispersants, and trends in biological and ecological studies, including types of organisms and habitats investigated, are also recorded over time.本数据集源自一项覆盖1968年至2015年1200余篇学术手稿的系统性文献调研。该数据集旨在探究不同学科间的工作分布格局与跨学科研究开展水平，同时按时间序列记录了学界对化学分散剂（chemical dispersants）的关注程度，以及生物学与生态学研究的发展趋势，涵盖所调研的生物体类型与栖息地类型。
