ABSTRACT
Research data sharing has become an expected component of scientific research and scholarly publishing practice over the last few decades, due in part to requirements for federally funded research. As part of a larger effort to better understand the workflows and costs of public access to research data, this project conducted a high-level analysis of where academic research data is most frequently shared. To do this, we leveraged the DataCite and Crossref application programming interfaces (APIs) in search of Publisher field elements demonstrating which data repositories were utilized by researchers from six academic research institutions between 2012-2022. In addition, we also ran a preliminary analysis of the quality of the metadata associated with these published datasets, comparing the extent to which information was missing from metadata fields deemed important for public access to research data. Results show that the top 10 publishers accounted for 89.0% to 99.8% of the datasets connected with the institutions in our study. Known data repositories, including institutional data repositories hosted by those institutions, were initially lacking from our sample due to varying metadata standards and practices. We conclude that the metadata quality landscape for published research datasets is uneven; key information, such as author affiliation, is often incomplete or missing from source data repositories and aggregators. To enhance the findability, interoperability, accessibility, and reusability (FAIRness) of research data, we provide a set of concrete recommendations that repositories and data authors can take to improve scholarly metadata associated with shared datasets.

Rainbow trout (average weight of 2 g) in fresh water experienced high mortality and were infected with a diplomonad intestinal parasite. Tanks of fish experienced an immediate reduction in mortality after an in-feed treatment with 3% Epsom salts for 2 d. Treatments had to be applied several times, but in each case there was a similar reduction in mortality.
Traitement des parasites intestinaux diplomonades à l'aide de sulfate de magnésium dans une installation commerciale de truites arc-en-ciel(Oncorhynchus mykiss). Des truites arc-en-ciel (poids moyen de 2 g) élevées en eau douce ont connu une mortalité élevée et ont été infectées par un parasite intestinal diplomonade. Une réduction immédiate de la mortalité a été observée dans les bassins de poissons après un traitement dans l'alimentation de 3 % de sel d'Epsom pendant 2 jours. Les traitements ont dû être appliqués plusieurs fois, mais, dans chaque instance, il s'est produit une réduction semblable de la mortalité.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).

In the summer of 2007, two fourth year nursing students were hired to implement a pressure ulcer prevention program at St. Joseph's at Fleming, a long term care facility in Peterborough. Under the guidance of the facility's Assistant Director of Resident Care, the nursing students selected the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario' (RNAO) best practice guideline for the Risk Assessment and Prevention of Pressure Ulcers to form the foundation upon which their program was built. This article describes the phases of the implementation process and highlights the importance of following the steps outlined in the RNAO's best practice guideline Toolkit to ensure program success.
