This filtering procedure was performed differently for each source using a sample of 50 articles. Please note that this procedure is not perfect, as it may have removed useful information or kept superfluous content. We provide the `raw_text` for each article if you would like to perform your own cleaning step.

Additionally, the text was standardized to a unified format with hierarchical section headers indicated by `#`, homogenous spacing `\n\n` separating paragraphs, and normalized lists formatted with `- ` bullet points.
