+ # Dataset Card for the Scientific Contribution Graph (SCG)
39
+
40
+ > **Compressed Parquet release:** this Hub dataset is a compact Parquet encoding of the Scientific Contribution Graph.
41
+ > It reduces the on-disk footprint from **~80 GB uncompressed JSON/tree files → ~6 GB Parquet**, while preserving the same contributions, prerequisite edges, and metadata as SCG **v1.1**.
42
+
43
+ The **Scientific Contribution Graph** maps how science is built “on the shoulders of giants”: it extracts fine-grained scientific contributions from open-access papers and links each contribution to the precursor contributions it builds on.
44
+
45
+ This card documents the **v1.1** graph in Parquet form. The original full-tree release used by the [SCG Explorer](https://huggingface.co/spaces/pajansen/scientific-contribution-graph) and the official API lives in the bucket [`pajansen/scg-explorer-space-data`](https://huggingface.co/buckets/pajansen/scg-explorer-space-data) (~84.4 GB, 655,252 files; ~80 GB uncompressed / ~19 GB tar-compressed). **Prefer this Parquet dataset when you want the same graph at ~6 GB.**
46
+
47
+ Paper: [The Scientific Contribution Graph: Automated Literature-based Technological Roadmapping at Scale](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.15011) (Findings of EMNLP 2026).

49
+ ## Dataset Details
50
+
51
+ ### Dataset Description
52
+
53
+ Scientific contributions rarely appear in isolation. SCG treats automated **technological roadmapping** as knowledge-graph construction over full paper text:
54
+
55
+ - **Nodes** are individual scientific contributions (name + long-form description + metadata), not whole papers and not short entity spans.
56
+ - **Edges** are prerequisite / precursor relations, each with a natural-language explanation of *why* one contribution enables another, plus alignment to cited papers.
57
+
58
+ Extraction is modeled as open-ended sequence-to-sequence generation over full text (on the order of ~43 LLM calls per paper), then cross-paper alignment of prerequisites to contributions in cited work.
59
+
60
+ | Representation | Typical size | Notes |
61
+ | --- | ---: | --- |
62
+ | Original v1.1 tree / JSON | **~80 GB** uncompressed (~19 GB `.tar.gz`) | Per-paper files in [`pajansen/scg-explorer-space-data`](https://huggingface.co/buckets/pajansen/scg-explorer-space-data); native API format |
63
+ | **This dataset (Parquet)** | **~6 GB** | Columnar, compressed encoding of the same v1.1 graph |
64
+
65
+ | Release | Papers | Contributions | Prerequisite edges | Domain |
66
+ | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
67
+ | v1.0 (May 2026) | 230,454 | 2,047,426 | 12,524,458 | ACL Anthology seed + S2ORC back-crawl (largely AI/NLP) |
68
+ | **v1.1 (Aug 2026, current)** | **655,195** | **5,976,913** | **36,199,762** | Broader science via alternating forward/backward crawls |
69
+
70
+ Averages (v1.1):
71
+
72
+ - ~9 contributions per paper
73
+ - ~6 prerequisites per contribution
74
+ - ~130 tokens per contribution description
75
+ - ~71 tokens per edge explanation
76
+ - Prerequisite mix: ~61% external papers, ~34% intra-paper contributions, ~5% tools/URLs
77
+ - Linked paper-reference → specific downstream contribution: 29.0% (up from 25.7% in v1.0)

91
+
92
+ ## Uses
93
+
94
+ ### Direct Use
95
+
96
+ - Loading the full SCG on a laptop or modest server without provisioning ~80 GB of JSON
97
+ - Technological roadmapping and contribution-level citation / dependency analysis
98
+ - Scientific impact assessment at *contribution* granularity (not only paper-level citations)
99
+ - Training or evaluating **scientific prerequisite prediction** (which existing technologies enable a future contribution)
100
+ - Graph mining, visualization, and retrieval over scientific progress
101
+ - Input for automated scientific discovery systems that reason about enabling technologies
102
+
103
+ ### Out-of-Scope Use
104
+
105
+ - Treating extracted nodes/edges as gold human annotations or as a complete map of a field (coverage is limited to open-access full text that the crawl reached)
106
+ - Using prerequisite edges as legal claims of priority, inventorship, or plagiarism
107
+ - Assuming every citation in a paper is a true technological prerequisite (the graph is designed to be finer-grained than raw citations, but alignment is imperfect)
108
+ - Deploying rankings or “impact scores” as sole criteria for hiring, funding, or clinical/scientific decisions without human review
109
+
110
+ ## Dataset Structure
111
+
112
+ This repository stores SCG v1.1 as **Parquet** rather than one JSON document per paper. Content is equivalent to the official release; only the on-disk encoding changes (~80 GB → ~6 GB).
113
+
114
+ ### Identifiers
115
+
116
+ - Papers are keyed by **Semantic Scholar corpus IDs**.
117
+ - Contributions are `"{corpus_id}.c{n}"` (e.g. `52967399.c1`).
118
+
119
+ ### Conceptual schema
120
+
121
+ Each **contribution node** is a tuple \(\langle n_i, d_i, m_i \rangle\):
122
+
123
+ - `name` — short contribution title
124
+ - `description` — detailed generated summary
125
+ - `metadata` — source paper title, sections mentioning the contribution, etc.
126
+
127
+ Each **prerequisite edge** is \(\langle c_{\mathrm{pre}}, c_{\mathrm{dep}}, a_j \rangle\):
128
+
129
+ - precursor and dependent contribution IDs
130
+ - attributes such as a natural-language justification and the cited paper used for alignment
131
+
132
+ The official Python API in the GitHub repo still expects the original per-paper tree plus `data/metadata/paper_manifest.jsonl`. Use this Parquet dump for analysis with `datasets`, DuckDB, Polars, or Spark; convert back to the tree layout only if you need the demo API unchanged.
133
+
134
+ ### Topic distribution (v1.1)
135
+
136
+ Semantic Scholar topic labels (papers may have multiple topics; percentages sum to >100%):
137
+
138
+ | Topic | Count | % | Topic | Count | % |
139
+ | --- | ---: | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
140
+ | Medicine | 304,898 | 46.5 | Sociology | 4,796 | 0.7 |
141
+ | Computer Science | 272,796 | 41.6 | Education | 3,637 | 0.6 |
142
+ | Biology | 177,090 | 27.0 | Political Science | 3,108 | 0.5 |
143
+ | Physics | 163,066 | 24.9 | Business | 2,642 | 0.4 |
144
+ | Mathematics | 58,616 | 8.9 | Economics | 2,628 | 0.4 |
145
+ | Linguistics | 51,830 | 7.9 | Agricultural and Food Sciences | 2,615 | 0.4 |
146
+ | Engineering | 51,458 | 7.9 | Geography | 1,904 | 0.3 |
147
+ | Environmental Science | 40,636 | 6.2 | Philosophy | 1,900 | 0.3 |
148
+ | Chemistry | 35,962 | 5.5 | Law | 1,650 | 0.3 |
149
+ | Materials Science | 20,198 | 3.1 | History | 1,111 | 0.2 |
150
+ | Psychology | 13,494 | 2.1 | | | |
151
+
152
+ Topics with &lt;1,000 papers omitted (e.g. Art, Geology).
153
+
154
+ ### Data Splits
155
+
156
+ The graph release itself is a single corpus (no official train/dev/test split of nodes/edges).
157
+
158
+ The companion **scientific prerequisite prediction** task uses **temporally filtered backtesting** (predict precursors of later contributions from earlier graph state). Reported headline result in the paper: **0.48 MAP**. Task code/data: `task_precursor_prediction/` in the GitHub repository.
159
+
160
+ ## Dataset Creation
161
+
162
+ ### Curation Rationale
163
+
164
+ Paper-level citations mix background mentions with true “built upon” links. Sentence-level IE triples are usually too short and decontextualized. SCG sits in between: contribution-level nodes with long descriptions, and explained prerequisite edges.
165
+
166
+ The Parquet packaging exists so the same 6M-node / 36M-edge graph can be distributed and scanned without an 80 GB checkout.
167
+
168
+ ### Source Data
169
+
170
+ **v1.0:** full ACL Anthology crawl, then backward crawl through S2ORC along cited open-access papers.
171
+
172
+ **v1.1:** alternating **forward** (impact) and **backward** (dependency) crawls through S2ORC; reference linking improved by backfilling missing S2 corpus IDs via exact title match, then re-running cross-contribution alignment.
173
+
174
+ #### Who produced the source language?
175
+
176
+ Authors of the underlying scholarly articles. Graph text (names, descriptions, edge explanations) is **model-generated** from those papers’ full text.
177
+
178
+ ### Annotations
179
+
180
+ Automatically generated; not crowd-annotated. Human evaluation and alignment statistics are in the paper. Residual errors include missed contributions, spurious prerequisites, and failed or coarse paper–contribution alignment (~71% of paper references still not pinned to a specific downstream contribution).
181
+
182
+ ### Personal and Sensitive Information
183
+
184
+ Records are scientific contributions from published open-access papers (titles, IDs, generated technical summaries). Author names may appear as in the source literature. No intent to include private personal data; biomedical papers may discuss clinical topics at the level already present in the publications.
185
+
186
+ ## Considerations for Using the Data
187
+
188
+ ### Social Impact
189
+
190
+ Useful for literature review, impact analysis, and discovery systems. Risk of amplifying venue/OA biases or treating generated “roadmaps” as authoritative history of science.
191
+
192
+ ### Discussion of Biases
193
+
194
+ - Open-access and crawl-seed bias (ACL/NLP origin, then expansion)
195
+ - English-language scholarly bias
196
+ - Field mix in v1.1 is heavy in medicine
