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

Individual datasets are deliberately omitted from BEAR.rds so that the main dataset remains small and easy to work with. Some full datasets (e.g. PubMed scrapes containing millions of data points) are available only as separate files in data/.

If you only want to download some 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
