## PART 1 — CAN WE GET THE DATA? (Access & Legal Status)

### The Short Answer: YES — ~85% of what you need is free and legal.

Here is the full breakdown of every major source category with its legal and access status:

---

### SOURCE CATEGORY A: PubMed Central (PMC) Open Access Subset
**Access: FREE | Legal: YES (CC-BY and CC-BY-NC licenses) | Volume: 4M+ articles**

PMC operates an Open Access Subset — every article in it has a Creative Commons license
explicitly permitting reuse, including for text mining and AI training. This is your PRIMARY source.

**How to access:**
1. PMC FTP Bulk Download:
   - URL: https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_bulk/
   - Contains full-text XML for all CC-licensed articles
   - Divided into three license tiers: CC-BY (most permissive), CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-NC-ND
   - Updated weekly
   - For LLM training: CC-BY and CC-BY-NC are both usable for non-commercial training

2. PMC OAI-PMH API (Updated September 2025):
   - Base URL: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/tools/oai/
   - Returns full-text XML for CC-licensed articles
   - Max 10 records per request with resumptionToken for pagination
   - Rate limit: 3 requests/second

3. PMC BioC API (most LLM-friendly format):
   - Base URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/biolinkbert/
   - Returns full text in JSON or XML BioC format
   - Cleaner parsing than raw XML

4. PubMed E-utilities (for search + metadata):
   - Base URL: https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/
   - ESearch → find PMCIDs for your topic
   - EFetch → retrieve full text for those PMCIDs
   - Updated E-utilities released February 2026

**Your workflow:**
```python
# Step 1: Search PubMed for your topic
esearch_url = "https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi"
params = {
    "db": "pmc",
    "term": "gait retraining AND injury[Title/Abstract]",
    "retmax": 200,
    "usehistory": "y",
    "api_key": "YOUR_NCBI_API_KEY"  # Free from NCBI — get one
}

# Step 2: Fetch full text for open-access results
efetch_url = "https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi"
params = {
    "db": "pmc",
    "rettype": "full",
    "retmode": "xml",
    "webenv": search_results["WebEnv"],
    "query_key": search_results["QueryKey"]
}
```

**Expected yield:** For your 32 pillars with targeted searches → 2,000-2,500 full-text articles
**Cost:** Free
**Time to collect:** 2-3 weeks with automated scripts
**Legal risk:** Zero if you use CC-BY / CC-BY-NC subset only

---

### SOURCE CATEGORY B: PubMed Abstracts (Non-Open-Access Papers)
**Access: FREE (abstracts only) | Legal: YES | Volume: 35M+ articles**

For papers where full text is not open access (paywalled journals), you can legally use:
- Title + Abstract + MeSH terms + Author info = still valuable training signal
- Many models (including top clinical LLMs) are trained heavily on abstracts
- Abstracts average 200-350 words — sufficient for concept representation

**How to access:**
- PubMed E-utilities EFetch with rettype=abstract, retmode=xml
- Biopython Entrez module makes this very clean
- NCBI requires registration for API key (free, rate limit 10/sec with key vs 3/sec without)

**Expected yield:** 800-1,000 additional papers (abstracts only for paywalled content)
**Cost:** Free
**Legal risk:** Zero — abstracts are public domain

---

### SOURCE CATEGORY C: Cochrane Systematic Reviews
**Access: MOSTLY FREE | Legal: CC-BY-NC | Volume: 10,000+ reviews**

Key findings from research:
- The MAJORITY of published Cochrane reviews are FREE after 12 months (green open access)
- All Cochrane Protocols are immediately open access (CC-BY 4.0)
- New reviews have a 12-month embargo, then become free
- Countries with WHO low/middle-income status get full access immediately
- PDF + PMC deposit available for most reviews

**How to access:**
1. Cochrane Library website: https://www.cochranelibrary.com/
2. PMC deposit: Most Cochrane reviews appear in PMC after embargo
3. PubMed search: `"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"[Journal] AND physiotherapy`
4. Cochrane Rehabilitation Group mapping reviews (2025): Open access, indexed in PMC

**Cochrane groups relevant to your engine:**
- Cochrane Musculoskeletal Group
- Cochrane Back and Neck Group
- Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group
- Cochrane Rehabilitation and Functioning Group
- Cochrane Pain, Palliative and Supportive Care Group
- Cochrane Sports and Exercise Medicine (emerging)
- Cochrane Neuromuscular Group
- Cochrane Stroke Group
- Cochrane Heart Group

**Expected yield:** 200-300 highly relevant Cochrane reviews (full text via PMC)
**Cost:** Free
**Legal risk:** Very low — use CC-BY-NC versions

---

### SOURCE CATEGORY D: APTA Clinical Practice Guidelines

Key findings from research:
- APTA officially recommends all CPGs be published as FREE OPEN ACCESS (from their 2022 CPG Manual)
- Many CPGs are published in JOSPT, PTJ, or APTA journals as open access
- Some are APTA member-only (need APTA membership to access directly)
- However, most are simultaneously published in PMC as open access articles (check PMC first)

**How to access:**
1. APTA CPG Library: https://www.apta.org/patient-care/evidence-based-practice-resources/cpgs
2. JOSPT open access: https://www.jospt.org/ (many CPGs published here, CC-BY)
3. PTJ (Physical Therapy Journal): Most open access via Oxford Academic
4. Search PMC: "clinical practice guideline" AND "physical therapy"[Journal]

**Key CPGs to collect (all available free):**

---

### SOURCE CATEGORY H: PEDro Database
**Access: FREE (metadata) | Legal: Free for research | Volume: 50,000+ trials**

PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database) is the world's largest database of
physiotherapy-specific RCTs, SRs, and CPGs with built-in quality scores.

**What you get from PEDro:**
- PEDro quality score for each trial (0-10) — invaluable for filtering A-grade papers
- Abstract + metadata for all 50,000+ entries
- All Cochrane reviews relevant to physio are indexed here
- Full text links where available

**How to access:**
- Website: https://pedro.org.au/
- Advanced search by condition, intervention, population
- CSV export of search results available
- No bulk API, but systematic condition-by-condition searching works

**Strategy:** Search PEDro for each of your 32 pillars → filter PEDro score ≥7 → collect PMCIDs → retrieve full text via PMC API

---

### SOURCE CATEGORY I: Paywalled Journals (Requires Access Strategy)
**Access: RESTRICTED | Legal: Requires institutional access or author manuscripts**

About 15-20% of the best papers (especially AJSM, KSSTA, Spine, CORR) are paywalled.
Options to access legally:

1. **Author Accepted Manuscripts (AAMs):** Authors deposit accepted manuscripts in PMC,
   institutional repositories, or ResearchGate. Many paywalled papers have free AAM versions.
   - Search: [PMID] site:researchgate.net OR [PMID] site:academia.edu
   - PubMed "Free Full Text" filter finds PMC-deposited AAMs

2. **Unpaywall:** Free browser extension / API that finds legal open-access versions
   - API: https://api.unpaywall.org/v2/{doi}?email=youremail
   - Returns open-access URL if one exists legally

3. **Institutional Access:** If you have a university affiliation, one institutional login
   gives access to essentially everything. Many physios are connected to universities.

4. **Interlibrary Loan / Author Contact:** For critical papers, email the corresponding author.
   ICMJE guidelines require authors to share manuscripts on request.

5. **Preprint Servers:** medRxiv, bioRxiv, SportRxiv — many physio/sport papers posted here
   free before or alongside journal publication.

**Expected paywalled content needed:** ~400-500 papers
**Realistically recoverable via legal means:** ~300-400 (Unpaywall finds ~80% of recent papers)
**Cost:** Free via Unpaywall + author manuscripts

---

### SOURCE CATEGORY J: Grey Literature (Textbooks, Handbooks, Manuals)
**Access: MIXED | Legal: Requires care**

IMPORTANT NOTE: Classic physio textbooks (Kisner & Colby, Maitland, Brukner & Khan)
are COPYRIGHTED and cannot be used for LLM training without licensing.

**Legal textbook alternatives:**
- StatPearls (NCBI Bookshelf) — continuously updated, free, PMC indexed
- OpenStax full text (CC-BY)
- LibreTexts Medicine (CC-BY-SA)
- WHO technical reports and manuals (free)
- WCPT/World Physio standards documents (free)
- Government rehabilitation guidelines (OGL or equivalent)
- MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières) Clinical Guidelines — free PDF

**For copyrighted textbooks:** Use the published literature (which is the evidence base
for textbooks anyway) rather than the textbook text itself. This achieves the same
knowledge outcome legally.

---

### PHASE 5 — TEXT PROCESSING & LLM FORMATTING (Weeks 17-18)
**This converts your raw corpus into LLM training-ready data**

#### Week 17: Text Extraction & Cleaning

**Pipeline for PMC XML files:**
```python
import lxml.etree as ET

def extract_text_from_pmc_xml(xml_file):
    tree = ET.parse(xml_file)
    root = tree.getroot()
    
    # Extract structured sections
    title = root.findtext('.//article-title')
    abstract = ' '.join([p.text or '' for p in root.findall('.//abstract//p')])
    
    # Extract body sections with headings
    sections = {}
    for sec in root.findall('.//body//sec'):
        heading = sec.findtext('title') or 'Body'
        paras = ' '.join([p.text or '' for p in sec.findall('p')])
        sections[heading] = paras
    
    return {
        'title': title,
        'abstract': abstract,
        'sections': sections,
        'full_text': abstract + ' ' + ' '.join(sections.values())
    }
```

**Cleaning steps:**
1. Remove references sections (noise for LLM)
2. Remove figure captions (unless they contain clinical information)
3. Standardise terminology (US/UK spelling variants)
4. Flag and handle tables (convert to prose descriptions or structured text)

---

#### Week 18: Chunking Strategy for LLM Training

**Critical decision — how you chunk determines LLM quality:**

```python
def chunk_document(text, chunk_size=512, overlap=64, 
                   metadata=None):
    """
    Chunk a document for LLM training.
    - chunk_size: tokens (512 is standard for BERT-family)
    - overlap: token overlap between chunks (prevents context loss)
    - Preserve section boundaries where possible
    """
    words = text.split()
    chunks = []
    
    for i in range(0, len(words), chunk_size - overlap):
        chunk = ' '.join(words[i:i + chunk_size])
        chunks.append({
            'text': chunk,
            'metadata': metadata,
            'chunk_id': f"{metadata['pmid']}_{i//chunk_size}"
        })
    
    return chunks
```

**Document type → chunk strategy:**
| Document Type | Chunk Size | Overlap | Special Handling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research paper abstract | Full abstract as 1 chunk | N/A | Preserve intact |
| Research paper full text | 400-600 tokens | 50-80 tokens | Preserve section integrity |
| Clinical guideline (NICE/JOSPT) | Recommendation unit | N/A | Each recommendation = 1 chunk |
| Cochrane review | Section by section | 50 tokens | Abstract + each section |
| Consensus statement | Paragraph level | 30 tokens | Preserve numbered points |
| Textbook chapter (StatPearls) | 500 tokens | 100 tokens | Preserve clinical context |

**Final output formats:**
1. JSONL format (most compatible with LLM fine-tuning frameworks):
```json
{"text": "chunk content here", "metadata": {"source": "PMC", "pmcid": "PMC12345", "pillar": "Running_Biomechanics", "evidence_level": "1a", "year": 2024}}
```

2. Instruction-tuning format (for clinical Q&A fine-tuning):
```json
{"instruction": "What is the evidence for gait retraining in runners with patellofemoral pain?", "input": "", "output": "Based on a 2026 umbrella review (PMID 42295581)..."}
```

# Developer Handoff Specification
## Physiotherapy + Performance Science LLM Training Corpus

**Document version:** 1.0  
**Prepared for:** Developer / ML Engineer  
**Purpose:** Build an automated pipeline to collect, process, and format a 2,500+ document corpus for LLM fine-tuning or RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

---

## 1. What You Are Receiving

### File: `MASTER_NEW_PAPERS.csv`
A curated index of peer-reviewed papers across 17 clinical and performance science pillars.

**Columns:**
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| `doc_id` | Sequential unique ID |
| `pillar` | Domain pillar (e.g. Lumbar_Clinical, Neurological_Physiotherapy) |
| `topic_cluster` | Sub-topic within the pillar |
| `title` | Full paper title |
| `first_author` | Surname of first author |
| `year` | Publication year |
| `journal` | Journal name |
| `pmid` | PubMed ID — the primary key for all retrieval |
| `pub_type` | Systematic Review / Meta-Analysis / Cochrane SR / etc. |
| `evidence_level` | 1a = highest (SR/Meta), 1b = RCT, 2 = Meta only |
| `evidence_label` | Human-readable label |
| `open_access_likely` | YES = confirmed free full text / LIKELY = probably free |
| `pmc_search_url` | Direct search URL to PubMed Central |
| `notes` | Publisher, OA status, retrieval notes |

**Current state:** ~161 papers in this file, growing each session.  
**Target state:** 2,500+ papers before final handoff.

---

## 2. Final Deliverable You Need to Build

### Option A — RAG Corpus (Recommended for production)
A folder of clean text files, one per paper, plus a metadata index. Used to build a vector database that the LLM queries at inference time. Does NOT require retraining the LLM.

**Output structure:**
```
/corpus/
  /full_text/
    34538747.txt        ← clean extracted text, one file per PMID
    35354560.txt
    ...
  /metadata/
    corpus_index.json   ← one JSON object per paper with all metadata
  /jsonl/
    corpus.jsonl        ← all papers as one JSONL file (one record per line)
```

### Option B — Fine-Tuning Dataset (if retraining/fine-tuning an LLM)
Convert the corpus into instruction-response pairs in JSONL format. Each pair trains the model on a clinical question + evidence-based answer pattern.

**Output structure:**
```
/finetune/
  train.jsonl    ← 80% of pairs
  val.jsonl      ← 10% of pairs
  test.jsonl     ← 10% of pairs
```

---

## 3. The Automated Collection Pipeline

### Step 1 — Fetch Full Text (PMC Open Access)

Use the **PMC E-utilities API** (free, no key needed for low volume):

```python
import requests, time

def fetch_pmc_fulltext(pmid: str) -> str | None:
    """Fetch full text XML from PMC for a given PMID."""
    # First check if PMC has a free full text version
    search_url = f"https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi"
    params = {
        "dbfrom": "pubmed",
        "db": "pmc",
        "id": pmid,
        "retmode": "json"
    }
    r = requests.get(search_url, params=params)
    data = r.json()
    
    try:
        pmcid = data["linksets"][0]["linksetdbs"][0]["links"][0]
    except (KeyError, IndexError):
        return None  # Not in PMC
    
    # Fetch the full text
    fetch_url = f"https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi"
    params = {"db": "pmc", "id": pmcid, "rettype": "full", "retmode": "xml"}
    r = requests.get(fetch_url, params=params)
    time.sleep(0.4)  # Stay under 3 req/sec without API key (10/sec with key)
    return r.text  # XML full text
```

**Rate limits:**
- Without API key: 3 requests/second
- With free NCBI API key: 10 requests/second
- Get key at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/

### Step 2 — Fallback: Unpaywall (for papers not in PMC)

```python
def fetch_unpaywall_pdf_url(doi: str, email: str) -> str | None:
    """Get legal OA PDF URL via Unpaywall for a given DOI."""
    url = f"https://api.unpaywall.org/v2/{doi}?email={email}"
    r = requests.get(url)
    if r.status_code != 200:
        return None
    data = r.json()
    if data.get("is_oa"):
        best = data.get("best_oa_location", {})
        return best.get("url_for_pdf")
    return None

# To get the DOI from a PMID:
def get_doi_from_pmid(pmid: str) -> str | None:
    url = f"https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi"
    params = {"db": "pubmed", "id": pmid, "rettype": "abstract", "retmode": "xml"}
    r = requests.get(url, params=params)
    # Parse XML for DOI
    import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
    root = ET.fromstring(r.text)
    for aid in root.iter("ArticleId"):
        if aid.attrib.get("IdType") == "doi":
            return aid.text
    return None
```

### Step 3 — Extract Clean Text from XML / PDF

```python
# From PMC XML:
from lxml import etree

def extract_text_from_pmc_xml(xml_str: str) -> str:
    root = etree.fromstring(xml_str.encode())
    # Get abstract
    abstract_parts = root.findall(".//abstract//p")
    abstract = " ".join(p.text_content() for p in abstract_parts if p.text_content())
    # Get body sections
    body_parts = root.findall(".//body//p")
    body = " ".join(p.text_content() for p in body_parts if p.text_content())
    return f"{abstract}\n\n{body}".strip()

# From PDF (fallback):
import pdfplumber

def extract_text_from_pdf(pdf_path: str) -> str:
    with pdfplumber.open(pdf_path) as pdf:
        return "\n".join(page.extract_text() or "" for page in pdf.pages)
```

### Step 4 — Write JSONL Records

Each record in the JSONL file looks like this:

```json
{
  "id": "34538747",
  "pillar": "Lumbar_Clinical",
  "topic_cluster": "Exercise for LBP",
  "title": "Some exercise types more effective than others in chronic LBP: network meta-analysis",
  "authors": "Hayden JA et al.",
  "journal": "J Physiother",
  "year": 2021,
  "pmid": "34538747",
  "pub_type": "Network Meta-Analysis",
  "evidence_level": "1a",
  "source": "PMC",
  "text": "BACKGROUND: Chronic low back pain... [full extracted text here]",
  "word_count": 4821,
  "retrieved_date": "2026-07-26"
}
```

## 5. Fine-Tuning Format (Option B)

If the goal is to **fine-tune** an LLM (e.g. LLaMA 3, Mistral, Phi-3), convert each paper into instruction-response pairs:

```python
def make_finetune_pairs(record: dict) -> list[dict]:
    """Generate instruction-response pairs from a single paper record."""
    title = record["title"]
    pillar = record["pillar"].replace("_", " ")
    text = record["text"]
    year = record["year"]
    journal = record["journal"]

    pairs = [
        # Pair 1: What does this study show?
        {
            "instruction": f"Summarise the key findings of this {pillar} study: {title}",
            "input": "",
            "output": f"[{journal}, {year}] {text[:1200]}"
        },
        # Pair 2: Clinical application
        {
            "instruction": f"What are the clinical implications of: {title}?",
            "input": "",
            "output": f"Based on this systematic review/meta-analysis ({journal}, {year}), "
                      f"the clinical implications include: {text[400:1200]}"
        },
        # Pair 3: Evidence grading
        {
            "instruction": f"What level of evidence is available for {title}?",
            "input": "",
            "output": f"This is a {record['pub_type']} (Level {record['evidence_level']} evidence), "
                      f"published in {journal} ({year}). PMID: {record['pmid']}."
        }
    ]
    return pairs
```

**Output JSONL format** (compatible with HuggingFace `trl` SFTTrainer, Axolotl, LLaMA-Factory):
```json
{"instruction": "Summarise the key findings...", "input": "", "output": "..."}
{"instruction": "What are the clinical implications...", "input": "", "output": "..."}
```

## 6. What the Developer Needs to Install

```bash
pip install requests lxml pdfplumber tqdm
# Optional for fine-tuning:
pip install transformers datasets trl peft
```

---

## 7. Recommended Architecture Decision

| Goal | Recommended Approach | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Q&A chatbot | **RAG + GPT-4o / Claude** | Fastest to build, most accurate, cites sources |
| Offline / private LLM | **RAG + local LLM** (LLaMA 3.1 8B) | Works without internet, HIPAA-friendly |
| Specialist physio LLM | **Fine-tune LLaMA 3.1 8B** on corpus | Highest domain accuracy, needs GPU |
| Hybrid (best of both) | **Fine-tune + RAG** | Fine-tune for reasoning style, RAG for facts |

**For a physiotherapy training/education tool, RAG is strongly recommended** because:
- Papers get updated — you can add new papers without retraining
- Sources are cited automatically — important for clinical credibility
- No GPU required for inference
- Can be deployed as an API in days, not weeks

---

## 8. Vector Database Options (for RAG)

| Tool | Best For | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| **ChromaDB** | Local development, easy setup | Free |
| **Pinecone** | Production cloud deployment | Free tier available |
| **Weaviate** | Hybrid keyword + semantic search | Free self-hosted |
| **pgvector** | Already using PostgreSQL | Free |

**Recommended embedding model:** `text-embedding-3-small` (OpenAI) or `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` (free, local)

METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, CINAHL, and PsycINFO from inception to October 2024 for randomised controlled trials of non-surgical interventions for chronic low back pain with at least 12 months of follow-up. We included trials that reported pain intensity or disability as outcomes. We conducted random-effects meta-analyses and assessed certainty of evidence using GRADE. FINDINGS: We included 97 randomised controlled trials (n=13,928 participants). Exercise therapy showed moderate certainty evidence for small to moderate reductions in pain (SMD -0.42, 95% CI -0.55 to -0.30) and disability (SMD -0.38, 95% CI -0.51 to -0.25) at 12 months compared with minimal intervention. Psychological therapies, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, showed moderate certainty evidence for small effects on both pain and disability. Combined exercise and psychological therapy showed slightly larger effects than either alone. Passive physical therapies (massage, ultrasound, TENS) showed low certainty evidence with small effects not sustained beyond 6 months. INTERPRETATION: Exercise therapy, with or without psychological therapy, remains the most evidence-based non-surgical approach for long-term management of chronic low back pain. Passive therapies should not be used as stand-alone long-term treatments.", "word_count": 248, "retrieved_date": "2026-07-26"}

Biofeedback added to PFMT versus PFMT alone showed little to no difference in outcomes (RR 1.09, 95% CI 0.96-1.25, low certainty). Progressive resistance PFMT showed greater improvement in muscle strength compared to standard PFMT. Group PFMT was as effective as individual PFMT. PFMT combined with bladder training was more effective than PFMT alone for urgency incontinence. AUTHORS CONCLUSIONS: Supervised PFMT is more effective than unsupervised home programmes.

# Physiotherapy LLM Corpus — Project README
## For the Developer / ML Engineer

---

## What This Project Is

We are building a **universal physiotherapy + performance science LLM training corpus** covering 32 clinical and performance pillars. The goal is a high-quality, legally accessible dataset of 2,500+ peer-reviewed papers that can be used to:

1. Build a **RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)** knowledge base for a clinical AI assistant
2. **Fine-tune** an open-source LLM (LLaMA, Mistral, Phi) on physiotherapy-specific knowledge
3. Power a **clinical Q&A or CPD (continuing professional development) tool** for physiotherapists

## The One Script You Need to Run

```bash
# Install dependencies
pip install requests lxml pdfplumber tqdm

# Set your credentials (free sign-up)
export NCBI_API_KEY="your_ncbi_api_key_here"       # https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account
export UNPAYWALL_EMAIL="your@email.com"             # Any email, no signup needed

# Run against the master CSV
python physio_corpus_builder.py \
  --input MASTER_NEW_PAPERS.csv \
  --output corpus.jsonl
```

The script is in `DEVELOPER_HANDOFF_SPEC.md` — copy it into `physio_corpus_builder.py`.

**Expected run time:** ~2-4 hours for 2,500 papers at safe API rate limits.  
**Expected output:** `corpus.jsonl` — one JSON record per line, with full text where available.

## Corpus Status (Updated Each Session)

| Metric | Current | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Total papers in index | ~696 | 2,500 |
| Pillars with coverage | 17 of 32 | 32 of 32 |
| Papers with full text (after pipeline runs) | TBD | ~1,750 (70%) |
| Papers abstract-only | TBD | ~750 (30%) |
| Grey literature docs (CPGs etc) | In collection | 150-200 |

**The CSV index will keep growing** until we reach 2,500 papers. Each update will have a new `MASTER_NEW_PAPERS.csv`. Re-run the pipeline script each time to fetch any new papers added since last run. The script appends incrementally and skips already-fetched PMIDs.

---

## Legal / Licensing Notes

- All papers in the index are either confirmed Open Access or highly likely OA via PubMed Central or Unpaywall
- PMC full texts are free to download and use for research and AI training (CC-BY or equivalent)
- Unpaywall only returns legal OA PDFs — no paywalled content
- Grey literature (NICE, Cochrane, IOC) is publicly accessible; check individual licences before redistribution
- Do NOT scrape publisher websites directly — always use PMC or Unpaywall APIs

## Contact / Questions

This project is being managed manually until the automated pipeline is built. Each search session adds ~50-70 new papers to the CSV. When the CSV reaches 2,500 entries, run the pipeline script once to generate the final `corpus.jsonl` and deliver that file.
