A bibliometric corpus of 39,036 records (UT codes) retrieved and cleaned from the Web of Knowledge (WoS), dealing with main topics of the Food Science and Technology field, on pulses (18 species and varieties of pulses cultivated in temperate climates considered) and soya. The corpus gathers records such as articles, book, book chapters, and reviews, in the world. Note that the search queries used excluded the soya oil topics. Those search queries are available in another dataset. The methodology applied to retrieve and clean those bibliometrics data is explained in Magrini et al. (2019): https://doi.org/10.3390/su11236833
