+# Dataset Card for Paragraph-level Simplification of Medical Texts
+
+## Dataset Description
+
+- **Homepage:** https://github.com/AshOlogn/Paragraph-level-Simplification-of-Medical-Texts
+- **Pubmed:** False
+- **Public:** True
+- **Tasks:** SUM
+
+
+This dataset is designed for the summarization NLP task. It is a
+collection of technical abstracts of biomedical systematic reviews
+and corresponding plain-language summaries (PLS) from the Cochrane
+Database of Systematic Reviews, which comprises thousands of evidence
+synopses (where authors provide an overview of all published evidence
+relevant to a particular clinical question or topic). The PLS are
+written by review authors; Cochrane’s PLS standards recommend that
+“the PLS should be written in plain English which can be understood by
+most readers without a university education”. PLS are not parallel with
+every sentence in the abstract; on the contrary, they are structured heterogeneously.
