Abstract:

The dataset contains the News and Media mentions identified by Altmetric.com for publications indexed in Web of Science and in four preprint servers (arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and SSRN). The seed data was queried from the snapshots of both the Web of Science and Altmetric found at the Observatoire des Sciences et des Technologies (OST). The data included here has been filtered to only include mentions of the research that was made in 94 outlets, as described in the related publication and code (see below). The OST data was then augmented, for the purposes of determining the most likely publication dates, with queries to the Crossref and arXiv APIs.
