title: Spanish SciELO Crawled Biomedical Corpus

description: We present a corpus of Spanish medical articles extracted from the SciELO website (https://scielo.cl/). The corpus was constructed using web scraping extraction techniques and consists of 5694 articles published between 2002 and 2020 across 34 journals specialized in health and biology (specified below). Two variables of the corpus are presented here: the first contains the text without pre-processing, which makes it possible to adapt the corpus for different purposes. The second and third have been subjected to pre-processing, which is carried out with the NLTK library in Python and removes capital letters, accents, punctuation, and any non-alphanumeric symbols. In addition, the corpus was tokenized by sentences, obtaining a total of 500828 sentences and 13M tokens. In both cases, the articles are grouped by journal, in order of publication from most recent to oldest.
