Parallel to the dataset CORD-19 of scholarly articles, we provide the literature graph LG-covid19-HOTP composed of not only articles (graph nodes) that are relevant to the study of coronavirus, but also in and out citation links (directed graph edges) to base navigation and search among the articles. The article records are related and connected, not isolated. The graph has been updated weekly since March 26, 2020. The current graph includes 28,669 hot-off-the-press (HOTP) articles since January 2020. It contains 402,946 articles and 3,604,234 links. The link-to-node ratio is remarkably higher than some other existing literature graphs. In addition to the dataset we provide more functionalities at lg-covid-19-hotp.cs.duke.edu such as new articles, weekly meta-data analysis in terms of publication growth over time, ranking by citation, and statistical near-neighbor embedding maps by similarity in co-citation, and similarity in co-reference. Since April 11, we have enabled a novel functionality - self-navigated surf-search over the maps. At the site we also take courtesy input of COVID-19 articles that are missing from the current collection.
