Open-Source Software Mentions in Biomedical Research: A Comprehensive Dataset by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has created a substantial dataset that tracks mentions of open-source software in biomedical research papers. This dataset, which contains information from over 2.9 million papers, is intended to advance science and technology research.

In the first subset of this dataset, the system found over 19 million total mentions and 1.6 million unique mentions of software in 2.5 million papers. The second subset, on the other hand, revealed a total of 48 million mentions of software and 934,704 unique mentions in 2.9 million papers.

The dataset in the second subset allows researchers to identify successful uses of open-source software in the biomedical field. For a portion of the unique software mentions in the second subset, the team has provided a repository link, although the exact quantity is not specified.

The dataset was curated using an AI system that located mentions of software in 3.9 million open access biomedical research papers and 16.9 million papers given to the team. The image associated with this article is credited to Flickr user Rede Galega de Biomateriais, but it is not directly related to the dataset or the biomedical research mentioned in the article.

To access such a dataset, you would typically check CZI's official data or science portals, look for publications or project pages from CZI science programs, review related open-source tools or frameworks, or explore biomedical literature mining tools. However, currently, none of the search results provide a direct link or repository specifically for a dataset of open-source software mentions curated by CZI.

If you need a precise dataset on software mentions in biomedical papers, consider contacting CZI directly through their official contact channels or looking for a related publication describing the dataset to find access instructions.
