\begin{abstract}
	As part of its scholarly data efforts, the Internet Archive releases a
	first version of a citation graph dataset, named \emph{refcat}, derived
	from scholarly publications and additional data sources. It is composed of
	data gathered by the fatcat cataloging
	project\footnote{\href{https://fatcat.wiki}{https://fatcat.wiki}}, related
	web-scale crawls targeting primary and secondary scholarly outputs, as well
	as metadata from the Open
	Library\footnote{\href{https://openlibrary.org}{https://openlibrary.org}}
	project and
	Wikipedia\footnote{\href{https://wikipedia.org}{https://wikipedia.org}}.
	This first version of the graph consists of over 1.3B citations. We release
	this dataset under a CC0 Public Domain Dedication, accessible through an
	archive
	item\footnote{\href{https://archive.org/details/refcat\_2021-07-28}{https://archive.org/details/refcat\_2021-07-28}}.
	The source code used for the derivation process, including exact and fuzzy
	citation matching, is released under an MIT
	license\footnote{\href{https://gitlab.com/internetarchive/refcat}{https://gitlab.com/internetarchive/refcat}}.
	The goal of this report is to describe briefly the current contents and the
	derivation of the dataset.

\section{Introduction}

The Internet Archive releases a first version of a citation graph dataset
derived from a raw corpus of about 2.5B raw references gathered from metadata
and data obtained by PDF extraction and annotation tools such as
GROBID~\cite{lopez2009grobid}. Additionally, we consider integration with
metadata from Open Library and Wikipedia.  We expect this dataset to be
iterated upon, with changes both in content and processing.

According to~\citep{jinha_2010} over 50M scholarly articles have been published
(from 1726) up to 2009, with the rate of publications on the
rise~\citep{landhuis_2016}. In 2014, a study based on academic search engines
estimated that at least 114M English-language scholarly documents are
accessible on the web~\citep{khabsa_giles_2014}.

Modern citation indexes can be traced back to the early computing age, when
projects like the Science Citation Index (1955)~\citep{garfield2007evolution}
were first devised, living on in commercial knowledge bases today.
Open alternatives were started such as the Open Citations Corpus (OCC) in 2010
- the first version of which contained 6,325,178 individual
references~\citep{shotton2013publishing}. Other notable projects
include CiteSeer~\citep{giles1998citeseer}, CiteSeerX~\citep{wu2019citeseerx} and CitEc\footnote{\href{https://citec.repec.org}{https://citec.repec.org}}. The last
decade has seen the emergence of more openly available, large scale
citation projects like Microsoft Academic~\citep{sinha2015overview} and the
Initiative for Open Citations\footnote{\href{https://i4oc.org}{https://i4oc.org}}~\citep{shotton2018funders}.
In 2021, over one billion citations are publicly available, marking a ``tipping point''
for this category of data~\citep{hutchins2021tipping}.

While a paper will often cite other papers, more citable entities exist such as
books or web links and within links a variety of targets, such as web pages,
reference entries, protocols or datasets. References can be extracted manually
or through more automated methods, by accessing relevant metadata or structured
data extraction from full text documents. Automated methods offer the benefits
of scalability. The completeness of bibliographic metadata in references ranges
from documents with one or more persistant identifiers to raw, potentially
unclean strings partially describing a scholarly artifact.

\section{Related Work}

Two typical problems in citation graph development are related to data aquisition and citation matching. Data acquisition
itself can take different forms: bibliographic metadata can contain explicit
reference data as provided by publishers and aggregators; this data can be
relatively consistent when looked at per source, but may vary in style and
comprehensiveness when looked at as a whole. Another way of acquiring
bibliographic metadata is to analyze a source document, such as a PDF (or its
text), directly. Tools in this category are often based on conditional random
fields~\citep{lafferty2001conditional} and have been implemented in projects
such as ParsCit~\citep{councill2008parscit},
Cermine~\citep{tkaczyk2014cermine}, EXCITE~\citep{hosseini2019excite} or
GROBID~\citep{lopez2009grobid}.

The problem of citation matching is relatively simple when common, persistent
identifiers are present in the data. Complications mount, when there is
\emph{Identity Uncertainty}, that is ``objects are not labeled with unique
identifiers or when those identifiers may not be perceived
perfectly''~\citep{pasula2003identity}. CiteSeer has been an early project
concerned with citation matching~\citep{giles1998citeseer}. A taxonomy of
potential issues common in the matching process has been compiled
by~\citep{olensky2016evaluation}.  Additional care is required, when the
citation matching process is done at scale~\citep{fedoryszak2013large}. The
problem of heterogenity has been discussed in the context of datasets
by~\citep{mathiak2015challenges}.

Projects centered around citations or containing citation data as a core
component are COCI, the ``OpenCitations Index of Crossref open DOI-to-DOI
citations'', which was first released
2018-07-29\footnote{\href{https://opencitations.net/download}{https://opencitations.net/download}} and has been
regularly updated since~\citep{peroni2020opencitations}. The WikiCite\footnote{\href{https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite}{https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite}} project,
``a Wikimedia initiative to develop open citations and linked bibliographic
data to serve free knowledge'' continously adds citations to its
database\footnote{\href{http://wikicite.org/statistics.html}{http://wikicite.org/statistics.html}}. Microsoft Academic Graph~\citep{sinha2015overview} is comprised of a number of
entities\footnote{\href{https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/academic-services/graph/reference-data-schema}{https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/academic-services/graph/reference-data-schema}}
with \emph{PaperReferences} being one relation among many others.

\section{Dataset}

We release the first version of the \emph{refcat} dataset in a format used
internally for storage and to serve queries (and which we call \emph{biblioref}
or \emph{bref} for short). The dataset includes metadata from fatcat, the Open
Library project and inbound links from the English Wikipedia.  The dataset is
integrated into the \href{https://fatcat.wiki}{fatcat.wiki website} and allows users
to explore inbound and outbound
references\footnote{\href{https://guide.fatcat.wiki/reference\_graph.html}{https://guide.fatcat.wiki/reference\_graph.html}}.

The format records source and target (fatcat release and work) identifiers, a
few metadata attributes (such as year or release stage) as well as
information about the match status and provenance.

The dataset currently contains 1,323,423,672 citations across 76,327,662
entities (55,123,635 unique source and 60,244,206 unique target work
identifiers; for 1,303,424,212 - or 98.49\% of all citations - we do have a DOI
for both source and target).  The majority of matches - 1,250,523,321 - is
established through identifier based matching (DOI, PMIC, PMCID, ARXIV, ISBN).
72,900,351 citations are established through fuzzy matching techniques.
Citations from the Open Citations' COCI corpus\footnote{Reference dataset COCI
	v11, released 2021-09-04,
	\href{http://opencitations.net/index/coci}{http://opencitations.net/index/coci}}
and \emph{refcat} overlap to the most part, as can be seen in~Table~\ref{table:cocicmp}.

\end{table}

We started to include non-traditional citations into the graph, such as links
to books as recorded by the Open Library project and links from the English
Wikipedia to scholarly works. For links between Open Library we employ both
identifier based and fuzzy matching; for Wikipedia references we used a published dataset~\citep{harshdeep_singh_2020_3940692} and we are contributing
to upstream projects related to wikipedia citation extraction, such as
\emph{wikiciteparser}\footnote{\href{https://github.com/dissemin/wikiciteparser}{https://github.com/dissemin/wikiciteparser}}
to generate updates from recent Wikipedia dumps\footnote{Wikipedia dumps are available on a monthly basis from \href{https://dumps.wikimedia.org/}{https://dumps.wikimedia.org/}.}. Table~\ref{table:structure} lists the
counts for these links. Additionally, we are examining web links appearing in
references: after an initial cleaning procedure we currently find 25,405,592
web links\footnote{The cleaning process is necessary because OCR artifacts and
	other metadata issues exist in the data. Unfortunately, even after cleaning not
	all links will be in the form as originally intended by the authors.} in the
reference corpus, of which 4,827,688 have been preserved as of August 2021 with an HTTP 200
status code in the Wayback
Machine\footnote{\href{https://archive.org/web/}{https://archive.org/web/}} of
the Internet Archive.

In a random sample of 8000 links we find only 6138 responding
with an HTTP 200 OK, whereas the rest of the links yield a variety of HTTP status
codes, like 404, 403, 500 and others - resulting in 23\% of the links
in the reference corpus preserved at the Internet Archive being currently inaccessible on
the web\footnote{We used the
	\href{https://github.com/miku/clinker}{https://github.com/miku/clinker} command
	line link checking tool.} - making targeted web crawling and preservation of
scholarly references a key activity for maintaining citation integrity.

\section{System Design}

\subsection{Constraints}

The constraints for the system design are informed by the volume and the
variety of the data. The capability to run the whole graph derivation on a
single machine was a minor goal as well. In total, the raw inputs amount to a
few terabytes of textual content, mostly newline delimited JSON. More
importantly, while the number of data fields is low, certain documents are very
partial with hundreds of different combinations of available field values found
in the raw reference data. This is most likely caused by aggregators passing on
reference data coming from hundreds of sources, each of which not necessarily
agreeing on a common granularity for citation data and from artifacts of
machine learning based structured data extraction tools.

Each combination of fields may require a slightly different processing path.
For example, references with an Arxiv identifier can be processed differently
from references with only a title. Over 50\% of the raw reference data comes
from a set of eight field set variants, as listed in
Table~\ref{table:fields}.

\subsection{Data Sources}

Reference data comes from two main sources: explicit bibliographic metadata and
PDF extraction. The bibliographic metadata is taken from fatcat, which itself
harvests and imports web accessible sources such as Crossref, Pubmed, Arxiv,
Datacite, DOAJ, dblp and others into its catalog (as the source permits, data
is processed continously or in batches). Reference data from PDF documents has
been extracted with GROBID\footnote{GROBID
	\href{https://github.com/kermitt2/grobid/releases/tag/0.5.5}{v0.5.5}}, with the
TEI-XML results being cached locally in a key-value store accessible with an S3
API\footnote{Currently,
	\href{https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs}{https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs}
	is used}. Archived PDF documents result from dedicated web-scale crawls of
scholarly domains conducted with
Heritrix\footnote{\href{https://github.com/internetarchive/heritrix3}{https://github.com/internetarchive/heritrix3}}
(and other crawl technologies) and a variety of seed lists targeting journal
homepages, repositories, dataset providers, aggregators, web archives and other
venues. A processing pipeline merges catalog data from the primary database and
cached data from the key-value store and generates the set of about 2.5B
references records, which currently serve as an input for the citation graph
derivation pipeline.

\subsection{Methodology}

Overall, a map-reduce style~\citep{dean2010mapreduce} approach is
followed\footnote{While the operations are similar, the processing is not
	distributed but runs on a single machine. For space efficiency, zstd~\citep{collet2018zstandard} is used to compress raw data and derivations.}, which allows
for some
uniformity in the processing. We extract \emph{(key, document)} tuples (as
TSV) from the raw JSON data and sort by key. We then group documents with the
same key and apply a function on each group in order to generate
our target schema or perform
additional operations such as deduplication or fusion of matched and unmatched references for indexing.

The key derivation can be exact (via an identifier like DOI, PMID, etc) or
based on a value normalization, like ``slugifying'' a title string. For identifier
based matches we can generate the target schema directly.  For fuzzy matching
candidates, we pass possible match pairs through a verification procedure,
which is implemented for \emph{release entity}\footnote{\href{https://guide.fatcat.wiki/entity\_release.html}{https://guide.fatcat.wiki/entity\_release.html}.} pairs. This procedure is a
domain dependent rule based verification, able to identify different versions
of a publication, preprint-published pairs and documents, which are
are similar by various metrics calculated over title and author fields. The fuzzy matching
approach is applied on all reference documents without identifier (a title is
currently required).

We currently implement performance sensitive parts in the
Go programming language\footnote{\href{https://golang.org/}{https://golang.org/}}, with various processing stages (e.g.
conversion, map, reduce, ...) represented by separate command line tools. A
thin task orchestration layer using the luigi
framework\footnote{\href{https://github.com/spotify/luigi}{https://github.com/spotify/luigi}~\citep{bernhardsson2018rouhani},
	which has been used in various scientific pipeline
	application, like~\citep{schulz2016use},~\citep{erdmann2017design},~\citep{lampa2019scipipe},~\citep{czygan2014design}
	and others.} allows for experimentation in the pipeline and for single command
derivations, as data dependencies are encoded with the help of the
orchestrator. Within the tasks, we also utilize classic platform tools such as
GNU \emph{sort}~\citep{mcilroy1971research}.

During a last processing step, we fuse reference matches and unmatched items
into a single, indexable file. This step includes deduplication of different
matching methods (e.g. prefer exact matches over fuzzy matches). This file is
indexed into an search index and serves both matched and unmatched references
for the web application, allowing for further collection of feedback on match
quality and possible improvements.

With a few schema conversions, fuzzy matching has been be applied to Wikipedia
articles and Open Library (edition) records as well. The aspect of precision
and recall are represented by the two stages: we are generous in the match
candidate generation phase in order to improve recall, but we are strict during
verification, in order to control precision. Quality assurance for verification is
implemented through a growing list of test cases of real examples from the catalog and
their expected or desired match status\footnote{The list can be found under:
	\href{https://gitlab.com/internetarchive/refcat/-/blob/master/skate/testdata/verify.csv}{https://gitlab.com/internetarchive/refcat/-/blob/master/skate/testdata/verify.csv}.
	It is helpful to keep this test suite independent of any specific programming language.}.



\section{Limitations and Future Work}

As other dataset in this field we expect this dataset to be iterated upon.

\begin{itemize}
	\item The fatcat catalog updates its metadata
	      continously\footnote{A changelog can currenly be followed here:
		      \href{https://fatcat.wiki/changelog}{https://fatcat.wiki/changelog}.} and web crawls are conducted
	      regularly. Current processing pipelines cover raw reference snapshot
	      creation and derivation of the graph structure, which allows to rerun
	      processing based on updated data as it becomes available.

	\item Metadata extraction from PDFs depends on supervised machine learning
	      models, which in turn depend on available training datasets. With additional crawls and
	      metadata available we hope to improve models used for metadata
	      extraction, improving yield and reducing data extraction artifacts in
	      the process.

	\item As of this version, a number of raw reference
	      docs remain unmatched, which means that neither exact nor fuzzy matching
	      has detected a link to a known entity. Metadata might be missing. However, parts of the data
	      will contain a reference to a catalogued entity, but in a specific,
	      dense and harder to recover form.

	\item The reference dataset contains millions of URLs and their integration
	      into the graph has been implemented as a prototype. A full implementation
	      requires a few data cleanup and normalization steps.
\end{itemize}

\section{Appendix B}


A note on data quality: While we implement various data quality measures,
real-world data, especially coming from many different sources will contain
issues. Among other measures, we keep track of match reasons,
especially for fuzzy matching to be able to zoom in on systematic errors
more easily (see~Table~\ref{table:matches}).
