# 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.

### Data Fields
- **doi**: Digital Object Identifier for the publication.
- **year**: The year the publication was published.
- **title**: The title of the publication.
- **abstract**: The abstract of the publication.
- **labels**: A list of applied research areas associated with the publication. Each publication may have more than one applied research area, with each area having an `id` and `name`.

### Data Splits
The dataset is not split into training/validation/test sets. It is a single collection of publications.

## Usage

### Example Use Cases
- **Dataset Discovery**: Identifying relevant datasets for specific research areas.
- **Knowledge Discovery**: Exploring how NASA's datasets are cited across various research domains.
- **Fine-tuning**: Using this dataset to fine-tune language models for domain-specific tasks in Earth science.
