Get data

The fastest way to use BEAR is to download the combined BEAR.rds dataset from GitHub Releases.

From a shell, the current release can be downloaded with:

curl -L -o BEAR.rds \
  https://github.com/wwiecek/BEAR/releases/download/v2/BEAR.rds

Access individual datasets

The BEAR.rds dataset intentionally keeps those individual datasets opt-in so that the main dataset remains small and easy to work with. In some cases the full dataset (e.g. millions of data points from PubMed scrape studies) is only available in the file in data/.

If you only want to download some of the datasets, you can find them at https://github.com/wwiecek/BEAR_data

If you want all the individual datasets, clone the BEAR repository and then initialise its data/ submodule:

git submodule update --init --recursive
