Dataset for An Empirical Study of Hackathon Code Creation and Reuse

This dataset is corresponds to our extended analysis done for “The Secret Life of Hackathon Code Where does it come from and where does it go?” (https://doi.org/10.1109/MSR52588.2021.00020, pre-print at: https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.01145) and “Tracking Hackathon Code Creation and Reuse” (https://doi.org/10.1109/MSR52588.2021.00085, pre-print at: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.10167). The replication package including the scripts used for generating this dataset from the “World of Code” (https://worldofcode.org/) dataset is available in Github link https://github.com/woc-hack/track_hack. The dataset contains the blob hashes used in the scope of the analysis and the analysis outcome. The columns are as following DevpostID: Devpost identification for the hackathon project and it can be used to get the URL for the devpost.com website. Example DevpostID -q9nd5 can be translated to https://devpost.com/software/-q9nd5 ProjectID: The Github project name HackathonEndDate: Hackathon event end date BlobHash: The blob hash used in the analysis BeforeHackathon-DuringHackathon-AfterHackathon: This column represents if the blob was first introduced before/during/after the hackathon (1: before, 2: during, 3: after) SameAuthor-Contributor-OtherAuthor: This column represents if the blob was first created by someone in the hackathon team, or someone who was a contributor to a project in which one of the members of the hackathon project contributed to as well (contributor), or someone else outside of the hackathon team (1: Author is a hackathon team member, 2: Author Contributed before with a hackathon team member, 3: Author is not related to the hackathon team). UsedBySmallProject-UsedByMediumProject-UsedByLargeProject: This column represents if the hackathon blob is reused again after the hackathon event and what is the project size that reused the code (1: not reused, 3: reused in small project, 4: reused in medium project, 5: reused in large project, NA: not in scope of the reuse analysis) IsTemplate: This column represents if the blob is identified as a template file or not ( YES: File is template, NO: File is not template). The template definition and method is explained in the research paper.
