Abstract

This dataset includes a list of citations with identifiers extracted from the most recent version of Wikipedia across all language editions. The data was parsed from the Wikipedia content dumps published on March 1, 2018. License All files included in this datasets are released under CC0: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ Projects Previous versions of this dataset ("Scholarly citations in Wikipedia") were limited to the English language edition. The current version includes one dataset for each of the 298 languages editions that Wikipedia supports as of March 2018. Projects are identified by their ISO 639-1/639-2 language code, per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias. Identifiers • PubMed IDs (pmid) and PubMedCentral IDs (pmcid). • Digital Object Identifiers (doi)• International Standard Book Number (isbn)• ArXiv Ids (arxiv) Format Each row in the dataset represents a citation as a (Wikipedia article, cited source) pair. Metadata about when the citation was first added is included. • page_id -- The identifier of the Wikipedia article (int), e.g. 1325125 • page_title -- The title of the Wikipedia article (utf-8), e.g. Club cell • rev_id -- The Wikipedia revision where the citation was first added (int), e.g. 282470030 • timestamp -- The timestamp of the revision where the citation was first added. (ISO 8601 datetime), e.g. 2009-04-08T01:52:20Z • type -- The type of identifier, e.g. pmid • id -- The id of the cited source (utf-8), e.g. 18179694 Source code https://github.com/halfak/Extract-scholarly-article-citations-from-Wikipedia (MIT Licensed) A copy of this dataset is also available at https://analytics.wikimedia.org/datasets/archive/public-datasets/all/mwrefs/Notes Citation identifers are extracted as-is from Wikipedia article content. Our spot-checking suggests that 98% of identifiers resolve.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Verification

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
