Description

We used these keywords to identify categories for journals and conferences not in Scopus, for our manuscript "Assessing the agreement in retraction indexing across 4 multidisciplinary sources: Crossref, Retraction Watch, Scopus, and Web of Science".

These 4 text files each contains a keywords in the form: 'keyword1', 'keyword2', 'keyword3', ..... The file title indicates the name of the category:

HealthScience.txt
LifeScience.txt
PhysicalScience.txt
SocialScience.txt

Each file was generated from a combination of software and manual review in an iterative process in which we:
- First included keywords found using Yet Another Keyword Extractor <https://pypi.org/project/yake/> on the Scopus source list as of January 2023 <https://www.elsevier.com/?a=91122>.
- Second, assigned journals and conferences to one or more categories, when they matched a keyword from that category list.
- Reviewed uncategorized items to manually curate additional keywords in English and close cognates (e.g., Kardiologie). Titles in other languages or using terminology with multiple potential meanings were left uncategorized.
