.... revisiting now and notice it is described as a 'brief communication', but perhaps a little too brief...? A data availability statement would help to join the dots but alas. Maybe I'm being dense though... 🤔

Is it just me... or are there gaps in describing the data analysis here? An interesting topic to be sure; but I'm finding there to be methodological omissions. I can see -- through eagle eye scrutiny -- what the process was.

Friday means a fun toot -- well, fun for me! Here are some of my recent #jazz vinyl LP pick-ups. A mixture of second-hand pressings and new reissues. Exceedingly pleased with the Japanese pressings (in immaculate condition) and the The Atomic Mr. Basie, also immaculate, despite its age.

The Gary Thomas LP (While the Gate is Open) is a reminder of how flimsy late 80s / early 90s vinyl was. It's like placing a wobble board on one's turnable. Jesus wept!

"...results show that change of DataCite DOI metadata records is common, but it tends to be incremental and not extensive [...] However, the observed changes don't seem to fully align with idealized conceptualizations of metadata creation and maintenance for research data."

Really interesting, under investigated research area!
