AgentSLR: Priority Pathogens Dataset
Paper
Codebase
Project Website
This dataset accompanies the paper Evaluating AI-based Scientific Knowledge Synthesis with Epidemiological Systematic Reviews. It provides the data component of the AgentSLR evaluation harness. This covers article metadata, human abstract and full text screening labels, and structured human data extractions for epidemiological parameters, transmission models, and outbreaks across WHO priority pathogens.
Human labels in this release come from real world reviews conducted by the Pathogen Epidemiology Review Group (PERG) at Imperial College London. These labels reflect expert review decisions rather than synthetic annotation, and they ground the evaluation of AgentSLR in operational epidemiological review workflows.
Figure: Data flow through a systematic literature review: a large corpus of harvested articles is progressively filtered through abstract and full text screening to yield a relevant subset, which then undergoes structured data extraction across three output types (parameters, transmission models and outbreaks) that feed into living review generation.
The released screening labels cover seven priority pathogens:
- Marburg virus
- Ebola virus
- Lassa fever
- SARS-CoV-1
- Zika virus
- MERS-CoV
- Nipah virus
This release includes 16,248 downloaded article records matched to PERG human screening labels and deduplicated by Covidence ID. It also includes 3,808 human parameter extractions, 687 human transmission model extractions and 189 human outbreak extractions.
Harvest metadata was generated on 26 January 2026 (UTC). The full AgentSLR workflow, covering harvesting, PDF retrieval, OCR and Markdown conversion, screening, full text processing, extraction and report generation, is available on GitHub.
The screening records are the matched subset for which article full texts were downloaded and converted to Markdown during the evaluation run. This release does not redistribute PDFs or OCR text.
Paper Evaluation Coverage and Released Records
The table below mirrors the deduplicated review overlap summary from the paper and the released records. AgentSLR Matched denotes the downloaded corpus that matched with PERG labelled subset.

| ● SARS-CoV-1 | 12,280 | 2,047 (16.7%) |
| ● Zika virus | 10,510 | 2,164 (20.6%) |
| ● MERS-CoV | 19,656 | 5,714 (29.1%) |

| Total† | 60,233 | 16,248 (27.0%) |
● Published PERG review ● In data extraction by PERG ● Screening not yet conducted by PERG
* Articles post deduplication and empty abstract removal.† Excludes Rift Valley fever virus and CCHF article counts, matching the paper table.
Dataset Organisation
The dataset is organised into four config types:
- Harvest Metadata and Screening: one config with seven pathogen splits
- Parameter Extraction - {Pathogen}: one config per pathogen
- Transmission Model Extraction - {Pathogen}: one config per pathogen
- Outbreak Extraction - {Pathogen}: one config per pathogen
The harvest config contains downloaded PERG matched screening rows, deduplicated by covidence_id. The perg_subset and downloaded columns are True for all released screening records. The covidence_id key links screened articles in the harvest table to their corresponding human extraction records.
As data extraction schemas vary by pathogen, each pathogen for which human data extraction has been concluded is published as an individual config on the Hub, covering Ebola, Lassa, SARS and Zika for parameters and transmission models, and Lassa and Zika for outbreaks.
Using datasets:
from datasets import load_dataset
repo_id = "OxRML/AgentSLR"
marburg_harvest = load_dataset(repo_id, "Harvest Metadata and Screening", split="marburg")
ebola_parameters = load_dataset(repo_id, "Parameter Extraction - Ebola", split="ebola")
zika_models = load_dataset(repo_id, "Transmission Model Extraction - Zika")
lassa_outbreaks = load_dataset(repo_id, "Outbreak Extraction - Lassa")

This repository distributes structured review data, bibliographic metadata, identifiers, URLs and abstracts where present in source records. It does not redistribute publisher PDFs.
The legal status of underlying sources is not uniform. OpenAlex releases its data under CC0 (FAQ) and notes that original copyright remains with the source for PDFs (OpenAlex PDF docs). PubMed provides citations and abstracts rather than full text articles (About PubMed), and NLM does not claim copyright on PubMed abstracts, though publishers or authors may retain rights in the underlying materials (NCBI Policies, PubMed Disclaimer).
This release provides metadata and structured outputs only. Downstream redistribution of article text or PDFs should follow source specific rights and licences. To run the full AgentSLR pipeline, use the main codebase for PDF retrieval, OCR and Markdown conversion, full text screening and structured data extraction.
