PRC Platform Dataset 1.5.0
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: PRC Platform Dataset 1.5.0 — release archive of run run_20261102_01. An open, reproducible dataset of research works flowing through Publish-Review-Curate (PRC) platforms. Platforms are classified on two independent axes (who initiates the evaluation; workflow configuration) and described by a register of evidence fields. Counts are derived from the Crossref REST API and Sciety docmaps and are organised as observation series per register row and year. Source code, configuration, documentation, the published tables and figures and the decision log are in the repository https://github.com/essentia2020/prc-platform-dataset (tag of this release). Contents of the archive (637 ZIP members, file prc-platform-dataset_run_20261102_01_v1.5.0.zip): the record files data/processed/records_<row_id>.csv (one line per work record, evaluation record and evaluation relation), works_included.csv (one line per work, included or excluded, with the counting event and the exclusion reason), normalisation_summary.json, analysis_manifest.json, the interim files data/interim/* (97 CSV files and .gitkeep), a copy of the page manifests data/manifests/run_20261102_01/ and SHA256SUMS.txt with the digest of each file (636 files). The SHA-256 digest of the archive is da814ac04d985971bf1e6e77191cd3e84d60a5659a38a0bed04fac1e9aa01dbe; the same sums are in reports/release_archive_run_20261102_01_v1.5.0.sha256 in the repository. Raw HTTP responses are not deposited; the manifests record every accepted page. This archive is the S13-validated snapshot of run_20261102_01 (data baseline 9affb3c) and supersedes the archive of the same run deposited on 2026-11-02 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23891928, 631 files), which remains unchanged. A run id can span documented extensions, so the release version, the baseline commit and the archive hash identify the snapshot. Relative to the 2026-11-02 archive, 605 files are identical, 5 are added (the JMIRx Bio interim, record and manifest files, D-072) and 26 changed (early F1000Research DOI form recovered, D-067; JMIRx companion flags, D-050; duplicated evaluation-relation lines removed from nineteen record files without changing any count, D-074; snapshot provenance fields, D-066). Three header-only interim files bound to no selected walk of the run are retained for continuity and documented in the repository README (Data availability). Licensing. The interim and record files in this archive are derived from Crossref metadata (made available without restriction, CC0 waiver, per config/sources.yaml and https://www.crossref.org/documentation/retrieve-metadata/rest-api/rest-api-metadata-license-information/) and from Sciety docmap identifiers, dates and URLs (https://sciety.org/about; evaluation texts are not stored). The Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0) applies to the compilation and to the derived fields (identifiers, intervals, eligibility decisions, counts), not to the source metadata as such. The code that produced the archive is under the MIT License. Provenance. Analysis cutoff date, selected-walk policy and the mailto address are in config/run.yaml of the tagged commit; every data-affecting rule is a numbered decision in docs/decisions.md; known limits are in docs/limitations.md and data/processed/data_quality_log.csv. The dataset is a supplement to the seminar presentation "Crossing the chasm: the Publish-Review-Curate model and the future of peer review" (Leiden University, 2026; https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/events/2026/09/crossing-the-chasm-the-publish-review-curate-model-and-the-future-of-peer-review).
