1. Neuroscience_Records_Contain_Reference_to_Preprints.Scopus.V3.xlsx This Excel file contains the titles, DOIs, references, and EIDs of those Neuroscience publications (journal articles, books/book chapters, conference papers, notes, etc.) from 2004 to 2022 that have at least one reference to a preprint. For example, if a Neuroscience journal article has 40 references and one of these references is a preprint, then it's included in this Excel file. These records are retrieved from Scopus through the following query: REFSRCTITLE ( "OSF Preprints" OR "open science foundation Preprints" OR *africarxiv* OR *agrixiv* OR *arabixiv* OR *arxiv* OR *biohackrxiv* OR *biorxiv* OR *bodoarxiv* OR *cogprints* OR *eartharxiv* OR *ecoevorxiv* OR *ecsarxiv* OR *edarxiv* OR *engrxiv* OR *frenxiv* OR "INA-Rxiv" OR *indiarxiv* OR *lawarxiv* OR "LIS Scholarship Archive" OR *marxiv* OR *mediarxiv* OR *metaarxiv* OR mindrxiv OR *nutrixiv* OR paleorxiv OR "Preprints.org" OR psyarxiv OR *repec* OR *socarxiv* OR *sportrxiv* OR "Thesis Commons" OR "CoP preprint" OR "FocUS Archive preprint" OR "PeerJ preprint" OR "Law Archive preprint" OR *medrxiv* ) AND SUBJAREA ( neur ) AND PUBYEAR < 2023 2. ReferencesToPreprints.V3.txt References of the publications are split through a Python code (SplitReferences.py) and organized into separate lines in a text file. For example, if a publication has 40 references, all of these 40 references are split into 40 separate lines. After splitting references, those lines containing one of these words/terms ("OSF Preprints" OR "open science foundation preprints" OR africarxiv OR agrixiv OR arabixiv OR arxiv OR biohackrxiv OR biorxiv OR bodoarxiv OR cogprints OR eartharxiv OR ecoevorxiv OR ecsarxiv OR edarxiv OR engrxiv OR frenxiv OR "INA-Rxiv" OR indiarxiv OR lawarxiv OR "LIS Scholarship Archive" OR marxiv OR mediarxiv OR metaarxiv OR mindrxiv OR nutrixiv OR paleorxiv OR "Preprints.org" OR psyarxiv OR repec OR socarxiv OR sportrxiv OR "Thesis Commons" OR "CoP preprint" OR "FocUS Archive preprint" OR "PeerJ preprint" OR "Law Archive preprint" OR medrxiv) are selected (through RetrieveLinesContainingSpeceficString.py) and organized into this text file (ReferencesToPreprints.V3.txt). Each reference contains an EID (separated by ";") in order to specify which publication contains this specific reference. After this step, through a Python code (AddPreprintServerToEndOfLines.py) the name of a certain preprint was added to the end of each line. For example, if a line (or a reference) contains "biorxiv", the word "biorxiv" will be added to the end of this line after the "@" sign.
