Dataset consists of merged data science Web articles data for 2020 and 2021. Original datasets were obtained by Vinicius Lambert (https://www.kaggle.com/viniciuslambert) scraping Medium and other popular data science article platforms. Title and subtitle are cleaned from stopwords, lemmatized and transformed to lowercase; other textual features are left unchanged.

Different numerical features were extracted from the text and added to this dataset as a contribution:

• sum, max, min, mean, std deviation of claps, responses and reading time received by the author before posting a new article
• sum, max, min, mean, std deviation of claps, responses and reading time received by the author for previous articles with the same tag
• length of preprocessed title, subtitle and author in words
• number of numericals in preprocessed title, subtitle and author
• number of jargon and technical terms (words that are not present in NLTK English dictionary) in title and subtitle text
