CR4-NarrEmote: An Open Vocabulary Dataset of Narrative Emotions Derived Using Citizen Science

"Citizen Readers for Narrative Emotions" (CR4-NarrEmote) is a large-scale, open-vocabulary dataset of narrative emotions derived through a citizen science initiative called "Reading Emotions." Over a four-month period, 3,738 volunteers contributed more than 200,000 emotion annotations across 43,000 passages from long-form fiction and non-fiction, spanning 150 years, twelve genres, and multiple Anglophone cultural contexts.
