The Biospolar project aimed to identify research and innovation involving Arctic biodiversity. As part of the project large datasets were created of the scientific literature involving the Arctic and Patent data for the Arctic. This project provides public access to those datasets for research. Data is provided as csv files and smaller datasets are made available in open access collections at the Lens database. The datasets are divided into four sections: - Literature - Patents - Taxonomy - Places **Lens Online Collections** To access dynamic versions of the data please visit the online collections at the Lens. Each collection can be search and downloaded. The available collections are: Literature - [Arctic Biodiversity Literature Collection](https://www.lens.org/lens/scholar/search/results?collectionId=170871) 17,865 publications - [Arctic Bioprospecting Literature](https://www.lens.org/lens/scholar/search/results?collectionId=170857) 47 publications - [Arctic Biodiversity Literature with Patent Citations](https://www.lens.org/lens/scholar/search/results?collectionId=170804) 104 publications Patent Data - [Arctic Species in Patent Data](https://www.lens.org/lens/collection/170868) 1290 patent documents and families containing Arctic species - [Arctic Species and names places](https://www.lens.org/lens/collection/170812) 92 patent documents that contain a place name in the Arctic for exploration of the origins of samples used in patent activity.
