Integrity Citation and Retraction Graph

What it is

This dataset is a citation/retraction propagation graph over scholarly works. It pairs paper metadata and citation links with compact retraction-status facts to support analysis of how retraction information can propagate through citation neighbourhoods.

Not a compliance or legal determination; the dataset reports source-attributed facts, and the accompanying judgment API is what turns them into a verdict.

How it was built

The snapshot was assembled from the OpenAlex entity API, Crossref update-to metadata, and Retraction Watch status facts only. Retraction Watch free-text reasons and nature descriptions are excluded from this export.

Files and fields

• data/papers.jsonl.gz: one row per paper, with paper_id, doi, title, publication_year, cited_by_count, and openalex_is_retracted.
• data/cites.jsonl.gz: one row per citation edge, with citing_id, cited_id, cited_doi, source_tier, and source_uri.
• data/retraction_status.jsonl.gz: one row per source-specific status fact, with paper_id, doi, source, source_tier, is_retracted, and retraction_date.

Rows are JSON Lines with deterministic key order. The status file deliberately contains facts only; it does not redistribute Retraction Watch narrative text.

Provenance

• data/papers.jsonl.gz: OpenAlex contributes paper_id, doi, title, publication_year, cited_by_count, and openalex_is_retracted.
• data/cites.jsonl.gz: OpenAlex/OpenCitations citation records contribute citing_id, cited_id, and source_uri; the cited work's OpenAlex record contributes cited_doi; source_tier records the source classification.
• data/retraction_status.jsonl.gz: OpenAlex supplies paper_id, doi, and is_retracted in OpenAlex status rows; Crossref supplies is_retracted and retraction_date in Crossref status rows; Retraction Watch supplies is_retracted and retraction_date in Retraction Watch status rows. source and source_tier label each source-attributed row.

Known biases

This is a neighbourhood sample of 12 retracted seeds and up to 60 citing works per seed, not a full scholarly corpus. Coverage varies by paper and by the availability of source metadata. Semantic Scholar citation contexts are intentionally absent.

How to reproduce

Run the exporter from integrations/mcp against a harvested snapshot:

bun scripts/integrity-export-hf.ts --snapshot <snapshotDir> --out <dir>

The output directory contains the three compressed JSONL files, this dataset card, attribution, and a manifest with hashes, byte sizes, and row counts.

How to verify a claim

For a claim-specific comparison, consult the judgment API at https://pay.ashesborn.cloud and compare the cited work identifiers and status facts with the corresponding source records. A graph edge or status fact is evidence to inspect, not by itself a conclusion about the merits of a claim. To check one row by hand, open the DOI at https://doi.org/<doi>, compare retraction_date against the publisher notice, and compare source/source_tier across the three status rows for that paper.

中文摘要

本数据集提供学术论文元数据、引用关系及撤稿状态事实，用于研究撤稿信息在引用网络中的传播。数据仅覆盖有限的撤稿论文邻域，并且不包含 Retraction Watch 的原因或性质文本。
