We’ve published [a new version of the dataset of relationships between preprints and journal articles](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15124417) 🎉

The dataset is a result of applying [the preprint matching strategy](https://gitlab.com/crossref/labs/marple/-/blob/main/strategies_available/preprint_sbmv/strategy.py) at scale to the metadata deposited by Crossref members. The dataset contains both relationships asserted by Crossref members and matched by the strategy.

The dataset is a single CSV file with the following fields:

- preprint DOI (string)
- journal article DOI (string)
- whether the publisher of the journal article deposited this relationship (boolean)
- whether the publisher of the preprint deposited this relationship (boolean)
- the confidence score returned by the matching strategy (float, empty if the strategy did not discover this relationship)

The dataset contains:

- 1,060,572 relationships in total, including 954,782 preprints and 953,453 journal articles,
- 24,333 of the relationships were deposited by the Crossref members, but not discovered by the strategy,
- 598,480 of the relationships were discovered by the strategy, but not provided by any Crossref member,
- 437,759 of the relationships were both deposited by a Crossref member and discovered by the strategy.

More information about the matching approach and strategy can be found [here](https://doi.org/10.64000/dpcc9-k4564).
