The database contains data about the biomedical publications on Ebola in 2014.The volumes of publications and the classifications were determined by using the PubMed search engine. The data are ordered according to different criteria. Columns/row headings and embedded comments describe the contents of the columns/rows. Columns A-K of sheets ‘Clinical Trial term’, ‘Canada’, ‘China’, ‘France’, ‘Germany’, ‘Guinea’, ‘Liberia’, ‘Sierra Leone’, ‘UK’, ‘USA’ were from csv files downloaded from PubMed searches.
Further information about the methodology and the data is contained in the associated article. All data and figures mentioned in the associated article and this figshare entry are linked to a sheet of this database.

Figure 32
‘Manual’ control test of the method for country affiliation attribution.
Numbers of citations (‘ebola’ or ‘ebolavirus’ in title) with abstract available of the six countries with most Ebola-related publications. The numbers of publications automatically retrieved or with real ‘any author’, ‘first author’ or ‘last author’ with the proper country affiliation are indicated. 100% of the citations had at least one author (‘any author’) with the proper country affiliation, thus indicating accuracy of the method. Year 2014.

Subjective classification for discipline/area of citations (‘ebola’ or ‘ebolavirus’ in title) with abstract available of the United States and Canada, the two countries with most Ebola-related publications with abstract available. Citations were assigned only to the more relevant category, except citations related to specific aspects of the 2014 outbreak that were assigned optionally and in addition to the other categories. Year 2014.
