============
Human malaria is caused by four species of the parasitic protozoan genus *Plasmodium*. Of these four species, Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the vast majority of the 300--500 million episodes of malaria worldwide and accounts for 0.7--2.7 million annual deaths. In many endemic... | PubMed Central | 2024-06-05T03:55:45.923570 | 2003-8-18 | {

Elephants have a very limited distribution in Borneo, being restricted to approximately 5% of the island in the extreme northeast ([Figure 1](#pbio-0000006-g001){ref-type="fig"}).

PMC176548 | Every year, malaria kills as many as 2.5 million people. Of these deaths, 90% occur in sub-Saharan Africa, and most are children.

Circadian rhythms of diverse organisms are based on similar intracellular molecular feedback loops ([@pbio-0000013-Dunlap1]; [@pbio-0000013-Allada2]; [@pbio-0000013-Panda1]).

Description
PubMed Central is an open-access archive of biomedical and life sciences research papers maintained by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine.
We collected papers from PubMed whose metadata indicated that the publishing journal had designated a CC BY, CC BY-SA, or CC0 license.
PubMed stores the text content of each article as a single nXML file, which we convert to markdown using pandoc.
Per-document license information is available in the license entry of the metadata field of each example.
Code for collecting, processing, and preparing this dataset is available in the common-pile GitHub repo.

License Issues
While we aim to produce datasets with completely accurate licensing information, license laundering and inaccurate metadata can cause us to erroneously assign the incorrect license to some documents (for further discussion of this limitation, please see our paper). If you believe you have found an instance of incorrect licensing in this dataset, please start a discussion on this repository.
Other Versions
This is the "raw" version of the PubMed dataset. If you are looking for the filtered version used to train Comma v0.1, you can find it here.
