EPA Integrated Science Assessment Literature Screening Data

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data contains information used in searching and screening peer-reviewed literature for two Ozone Integrated Science Assessments (2013 and 2020). It comprises six subsets: reference metadata, citation context text, and hierarchical semantic maps. The data supports methods development and information science applications.

Use Cases

• Analyze citation context text to understand how references are used in different sections of the ISA reports.
• Map reference metadata to the hierarchical semantic map of chapters and sections to study literature coverage patterns.
• Develop text mining methods on the citation context paragraphs to automate literature screening tasks.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for official science assessments.
• Structured into six distinct subsets covering metadata, citation text, and document outlines for analytical depth.
• Covers two major Ozone Integrated Science Assessments from 2013 and 2020, providing a temporal comparison point.

Limitations

• Unknown row and column counts prevent assessment of dataset scale and feature richness.
• Sample data is unavailable, making it difficult to evaluate data structure and quality before download.
• The last update was in 2022, which may not reflect the most recent literature or EPA methodologies.
