Bibliometric Data for Extrafloral Nectaries Research, 1894–2026

A 1,279-document bibliometric dataset covering research on extrafloral nectaries from 1894 to 2026, compiled by Akash Basnet for a study under review. The dataset was created by merging and deduplicating 2,991 records from Web of Science and Scopus, followed by manual screening. It includes raw exports, a reproducibility script, and logs to support replication of the bibliometric analysis.

Use Cases

• Replicating bibliometric analyses like annual production and Bradford's Law based on the final cleaned dataset.
• Studying keyword co-occurrence and thematic mapping based on the bibliographic records.
• Analyzing country and institutional collaboration networks based on the author and affiliation data.
• Auditing the PRISMA-based screening and deduplication process using the provided logs and scripts.

Strengths

• Includes a complete reproducibility package with raw data, scripts, and logs for 2,991 initial records.
• Provides a final cleaned analytical dataset of 1,279 documents with a documented PRISMA flow.
• Specifies software requirements and package versions for replication.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the raw files is provided, but the specific columns and data structure are unknown.
• Data may reflect source bias inherent to the Web of Science and Scopus databases used.
