A Conceptual Enterprise Framework for Managing Scientific Data Stewardship

Data Science Journal.

By: G. Peng* , J. Privette, C. Tilmes, S. Bristol, T. Maycock, J. Bates, S. Hausman, O. Brown, E. Kearns

TL;DR: This work proposes a data-centric conceptual enterprise framework for managing stewardship activities, based on the philosophy behind the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, a proven industrial concept, which allows for quantitative evaluation of how organizations manage their stewardships activities and supports informed decision-making for continual improvement towards full compliance with federal, agency, and user requirements.

Testing ontogenetic patterns of sexual size dimorphism against expectations of the expensive tissue hypothesis, an intraspecific example using oyster toadfish (Opsanus tau)

ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 8(7), 3609–3616.

By: A. Dornburg*, D. Warren *, K. Zapfe *, R. Morris *, T. Iglesias *, A. Lamb n, G. Hogue *, L. Lukas*, R. Wong*
