SciLake Fulltext Corpus

The SciLake Fulltext Corpus is a collection of scientific papers parsed and segmented by section, primarily designed for research in the development and evaluation of NLP models. This dataset contains 1,000 full-text papers from various scientific domains, including Neuroscience, Cancer, Transport, and Energy, along with an additional 5,000 random papers from general scientific domains. All papers have been curated with licenses that allow for legal usage, specifically CC-BY and Public Domain.

The dataset provides detailed metadata and full-text sections, offering a robust resource for domain-specific and general scientific research, dataset annotation, model training, and evaluation.

Corpus Overview

• 1,000 Full-Text Papers Segmented by Section:
  • Domain-specific sections: Neuroscience 🧠, Cancer 🦀, Transport 🛻, Energy 🪫.
  • Each paper is segmented into sections such as Introduction, Methods, Results, etc.
• 5,000 Random Papers from General Scientific Domains:
  • Mix of stratified sampled by MAG level 0 to ensure diversity across multiple domains and disciplines, and random sample.
