The EUPLEX dataset contains information on all procedures in the EUR-Lex database and complexity measures for the associated legal texts (the proposal texts currently). The dataset is updated in regular intervals to include new cases, measures and bugfixes. Find out more in the accompanying article published in the Journal of European Public Policy as well as the codebook and the technical documentation.
