**Short answer.** Check, in order: the paper's "Data availability" or "Code" section, the arXiv abs page links, Papers with Code, the authors' GitHub, Hugging Face Datasets, Zenodo or Figshare DOIs cited in the references, and the journal's supplementary materials.

## Where datasets live

| Host | Query |
| --- | --- |
| Hugging Face | `https://huggingface.co/api/datasets?search=NAME` |
| Papers with Code | `https://paperswithcode.com/api/v1/papers/?q=TITLE` |
| Zenodo | `https://zenodo.org/api/records?q=NAME` |
| Figshare | `https://api.figshare.com/v2/articles/search` (POST) |
| DataCite (dataset DOIs) | `https://api.datacite.org/dois?query=NAME` |
| GitHub | `https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=NAME+dataset` |

## Details

- Benchmarks often gate test sets behind a form or keep labels private; the paper says so.
- Record the exact version or commit; datasets are revised after publication.
- Licenses differ from the paper's; check before redistributing.
