Description:

(abstract)

Starrydata2 is an open, web-based database system designed to collect and organize experimental material property data from scientific literature. The system enables researchers worldwide to extract and share curve data from plot images in published papers, along with relevant sample information such as chemical compositions and fabrication methods.
Currently, the database contains over 194,000 curves extracted from more than 82,000 physical samples, sourced from over 13,000 publications focusing on functional inorganic materials, particularly thermoelectric and magnetic materials. All data are freely accessible to the public for both commercial and non-commercial use. The system streamlines manual data collection through partial automation and features a unique "all-data plots" method that provides comprehensive dataset visualization.
The collected datasets are being actively utilized in data-driven materials research through machine learning, modeling, and simulation, contributing to advancements in materials science research globally.
