Dataset Card for Publications Citing NASA GES-DISC Datasets with Applied Research Areas

Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

This dataset includes a curated collection of scientific publications that cite datasets from NASA's Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES-DISC). The dataset is designed to provide insights into the impact and reach of NASA's data products, particularly in supporting Earth science research. Each publication is annotated with applied research areas, and multiple areas can be associated with a single publication.

The process of collecting these publications is detailed in Gerasimov et al. (2024). Example use cases include dataset discovery, knowledge discovery, and fine-tuning large language models for domain-specific applications.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Multi-label classification: The dataset can be used to train models that predict multiple research areas for a given publication.
Domain adaptation: Researchers can fine-tune large language models for specific domains in Earth science using this dataset.

Languages

The dataset primarily contains text in English.
