MDPI Open Peer Review Corpus 2

This corpus, created by the Cognitive Metascience Lab at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy of Science, contains a rich collection of peer reviews from the MDPI database as of January 2023, covering over 135,000 papers. It exemplifies the open peer review model, where reviews and author responses are made transparent. This dataset not only includes the full plain text of each review but also detailed metadata and supplementary materials, making it a valuable resource for exploring the dynamics of open peer review processes across various scientific disciplines. All metadata from the original corpus can be used to restrict the search, allowing users to efficiently navigate and analyze specific aspects of the peer review process.

Part-of-speech tagset and lemmatization

The English Web corpora are part-of-speech tagged with the following English Penn Treebank tagset summary (with Sketch Engine modifications) indicating the part of speech and grammatical category. The corpus texts also contain lemmatization when each word form from the corpus is assigned to its base form (lemma).
