In this paper, we introduce StatCite, a large-scale citation network dataset covering publications in statistics and data science from 1981 to 2025. The dataset contains 189,101 research articles collected from 62 representative journals and provides bibliographic metadata, including title, author list, publisher, published year, abstract, keywords, and reference list. Based on the collected publications, we construct four complementary citation-based networks, namely the paper citation network, the co-citation network, the bibliographic coupling network, and the journal citation network. To illustrate the utility of the dataset, we present descriptive analyses of the constructed networks and investigate the community structure of the paper citation network. The results show that StatCite preserves key structural characteristics commonly observed in large-scale citation networks and captures several major research areas in statistics and data science. By integrating multiple network representations with rich textual metadata, StatCite provides a valuable resource for statistical analysis, knowledge discovery, and data-driven studies of scientific literature.
