Webis-STEREO-21

We present the Webis-STEREO-21 dataset, a massive collection of <strong>S</strong>cientific <strong>Te</strong>xt <strong>Re</strong>use in <strong>O</strong>pen-access publications. It contains more than 91 million cases of reused text passages found in 4.2 million unique open-access publications. Featuring a high coverage of scientific disciplines and varieties of reuse, as well as comprehensive metadata to contextualize each case, our dataset addresses the most salient shortcomings of previous ones on scientific writing. Webis-STEREO-21 allows for tackling a wide range of research questions from different scientific backgrounds, facilitating both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the phenomenon as well as a first-time grounding on the base rate of text reuse in scientific publications. This is the open-access version of the dataset, which includes only the metadata of each reuse case. Due to licensing issues, the matched text is not included.

我们提出了Webis-STEREO-21数据集，其全称为开放获取出版物中的科学文本复用（Scientific Text Reuse in Open-access Publications，首字母缩略为STEREO），是该领域的大规模数据集。该数据集包含从420万篇独特开放获取（Open Access）出版物中提取的9100余万处复用文本段落案例。本数据集覆盖了广泛的学科领域与多样的复用类型，同时为每一处复用案例提供了全面的元数据（metadata）以明确其上下文信息，弥补了此前科学写作领域同类数据集的显著不足。Webis-STEREO-21可用于解决来自不同科研背景的多样研究问题，既支持对该文本复用现象的定性与定量分析，还首次实现了科学出版物中文本复用基准率的锚定。本次发布的为该数据集的开放获取版本，仅包含每一处复用案例的元数据；由于授权限制，匹配的原文文本并未包含在内。
