- ## Usage
103
-
104
- ### Loading the Dataset
105
-
106
- ```python
107
- from datasets import load_dataset
108
-
109
- # Load a sample (recommended for exploration)
110
- dataset = load_dataset("sumuks/openalex", split="train", streaming=True)
111
-
112
- # Iterate through examples
113
- for paper in dataset.take(100):
114
- print(f"Title: {paper['title']}")
115
- print(f"Year: {paper['publication_year']}")
116
- print(f"Citations: {paper['cited_by_count']}")
117
- print("---")
118
- ```
119
-
120
- ### Data Schema
121
-
122
- Each record contains:
123
-
124
- | Field | Description | Type |
125
- |-------|-------------|------|
126
- | `id` | OpenAlex work ID | string |
127
- | `doi` | Digital Object Identifier | string |
128
- | `title` | Work title | string |
129
- | `display_name` | Formatted display title | string |
130
- | `publication_year` | Year of publication | integer |
131
- | `publication_date` | Full publication date | date |
132
- | `type` | Publication type (article, book, etc.) | string |
133
- | `cited_by_count` | Number of citations | integer |
134
- | `is_oa` | Open access status | boolean |
135
- | `concepts` | Subject area tags | list |
136
- | `authorships` | Author information | list |
137
- | `institutions` | Affiliated institutions | list |
138
- | `referenced_works` | Citations/references | list |
139
- | `abstract` | Work abstract (when available) | string |
140
-
141
- ### Example Use Cases
142
-
143
- #### 1. Research Trend Analysis
144
- ```python
145
- # Analyze publication trends in machine learning
146
- ml_papers = dataset.filter(lambda x: any('machine learning' in c['display_name'].lower()
147
- for c in x['concepts']))
148
- ```
149
-
150
- #### 2. Citation Network Analysis
151
- ```python
152
- # Build citation graphs
153
- citation_network = {}
154
- for paper in dataset:
155
- citation_network[paper['id']] = paper['referenced_works']
156
- ```
157
-
158
- #### 3. Open Access Research
159
- ```python
160
- # Find open access papers in climate science
161
- oa_climate = dataset.filter(lambda x: x['is_oa'] and
162
- any('climate' in c['display_name'].lower()
163
- for c in x['concepts']))
164
- ```
165
-
166
- #### 4. Academic Search Systems
167
- ```python
168
- # Create embeddings for semantic search
169
- from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
170
-
171
- model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
172
- embeddings = model.encode([paper['title'] for paper in dataset.take(1000)])
173
- ```
174
-
175
- ## Considerations for Use
176
-
177
- ### Scope and Limitations
178
-
179
- - **Subset of Full OpenAlex**: This dataset contains 174M of the 250M+ works in the complete OpenAlex database
180
- - **Metadata Quality**: While extensive, some fields may be incomplete for older publications
181
- - **Abstract Availability**: Not all works include abstracts due to copyright restrictions
182
- - **Dynamic Updates**: This is a static snapshot; the live OpenAlex API has more recent data
183
-
184
- ### Ethical Considerations
185
-
186
- - **Citation Bias**: Citation counts may reflect systemic biases in academic publishing
187
- - **Geographic Representation**: May have uneven coverage across global regions
188
- - **Language Bias**: English-language publications are overrepresented
189
- - **Open Access**: Respect publisher policies when using full-text information
190
-
191
- ### Recommended Practices
192
-
193
- 1. **Use Streaming**: Given the dataset size, use `streaming=True` to avoid memory issues
194
- 2. **Filter Early**: Apply filters during loading to work with relevant subsets
195
- 3. **Respect Rate Limits**: If combining with API calls, follow OpenAlex rate limits
196
- 4. **Cite Properly**: Include proper attribution to OpenAlex and original authors
197
