# Dataset Card for "scientific_lay_summarisation"

### Dataset Summary

This repository contains the PLOS and eLife datasets, introduced in the EMNLP 2022 paper "[Making Science Simple: Corpora for the Lay Summarisation of Scientific Literature
](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.09932)" . 

Each dataset contains full biomedical research articles paired with expert-written lay summaries (i.e., non-technical summaries). PLOS articles are derived from various journals published by [the Public Library of Science (PLOS)](https://plos.org/), whereas eLife articles are derived from the [eLife](https://elifesciences.org/) journal. More details/anlaysis on the content of each dataset are provided in the paper.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Papers with code - [PLOS](https://paperswithcode.com/sota/lay-summarization-on-plos) and [eLife](https://paperswithcode.com/sota/lay-summarization-on-elife).
