Claims on Annual U.S. Physician Suicide Rate from Literature Search

Tiffany I. Leung created this dataset by extracting claims about the annual rate of U.S. physicians who die by suicide from identified literature. Data extracted includes article type, title, authors, DOI or URI, publication year, the specific claim, date of last access, and cited supporting articles. The claims were then represented as nanopublications using the Java-based Nanobench tool.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the prevalence and variation of specific numerical claims about physician suicide based on extracted claim statements.
• Studying citation networks and evidence support for medical claims based on the cited articles field.
• Tracking the evolution of claims over time based on publication year data.
• Exploring the representation of scientific claims as structured nanopublications based on the described methodology.

Strengths

• Claims are extracted from a formal literature search, suggesting a systematic collection method.
• Includes provenance metadata for each claim, such as source article, authors, and publication year.
• Claims are structured as nanopublications, which may support formal reasoning and linking.

Limitations

• Row count, column definitions, and sample data are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• The dataset scope is limited to claims found in a specific literature search, which may not be exhaustive.
