Manually Annotated arXiv Preprints Dataset for Structured Extraction of Authors and Affiliations

Dataset Description

This dataset contains manually annotated, structured metadata for a random sample of preprints from arXiv. Each entry in the dataset corresponds to a single publication and includes its title, language, arXiv ID, DOI link, a structured list of authors with their respective affiliations, and the corresponding PDF filename.

Data Fields

Each object in the JSON dataset contains the following fields:

• arxiv_id (string): The unique arXiv identifier for the publication (e.g., arXiv:hep-ph/0211259).
• doi (string): The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) link for the publication (e.g., https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.hep-ph/0211259).
• title (object): An object containing the title of the publication.
  • text (string): The full title of the paper.
  • lang (string): The language code for the title (e.g., en).
• authors (array): A list of objects, where each object represents an author.
  • name (string): The full name of the author.
  • affiliations (array): A list of strings, where each string is an institutional affiliation for the author.
• filename (string): The filename of the corresponding PDF document, derived from the arXiv ID with forward slashes replaced by underscores (e.g., math_0601203.pdf for arXiv:math/0601203).

Filename Format

The filename field follows a consistent pattern based on the arXiv ID:

• Standard format (YYMM.NNNNN): 2003.03151.pdf
• Category format (category/YYMMNNN): math_0601203.pdf (forward slash replaced with underscore)

Data Splits

This dataset does not contain any predefined data splits (e.g., train, validation, test).

Source Data

The data was derived from a random sample of 2492 arXiv preprint PDFs. This dataset was manually annotated to indicate the title, title language, author, and affiliation metadata.
