There be dragons! In particular don't mention "scraping" anywhere within distance of A. C. S. Open collections are probably your best bet. Maybe something from NIST for reference data and then things like Semantic Scholar.
Many/most publishers have hastily constructed "NO AI" rules ... which forbid everything, even things which are clearly fair use.

Hello,
Does anyone have experience with web scraping publications to train LLM? One of our researchers is looking for a good source on condensed matter and materials science. They've tried arXiv but couldn't find enough publications specifically on materials science as a subcategory. They were hoping for about 400,000 publications.
Thanks,
