This study examines the whether there is a phylogenetic structure to such episodes of changes in encephalization across mammals. Researchers used phylogenetic techniques to analyze brain mass, body mass and encephalization quotient (EQ) among 630 extant mammalian species. All data on body mass and brain mass of mammals were collected from published literature sources, except for brain masses measured directly from post-mortem specimens the researchers' own collections, and have been entered into a MySQL database.

The State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD) are State-specific files that include data for ambulatory surgery and other outpatient services from hospital-owned facilities. In addition, some States provide ambulatory surgery and outpatient services from nonhospital-owned facilities. The uniform format of the SASD helps facilitate cross-State comparisons. The SASD are well suited for research that requires complete enumeration of hospital-based ambulatory surgeries within geographic areas or States.

To determine the overall quality of Data Management Plans (DMPs) at Wayne State University, the Library System’s Research Data Services (RDS) team evaluated the content of 119 DMPs from grant proposals submitted to the National Science Foundation by Wayne State University researchers between 2012 and 2014. The DMPs were evaluated using a 15-question modified rubric previously used by researchers at University of Michigan.

The New York Times is releasing a series of data files with cumulative counts of coronavirus cases in the United States, at the state and county level, over time. They are compiling this time series data from state and local governments and health departments in an attempt to provide a complete record of the ongoing outbreak. They have used these data to power their maps and reporting tracking the outbreak, and they are now being made available to the public in response to requests from researchers, scientists, and government officials who would like access to the data to better understand the outbreak. The data begins with the first reported coronavirus case in Washington State on Jan. 21, 2020. They will publish regular updates to the data in this repository.

The National Conference of State Legislatures provides you with up-to-date, real-time information on law enforcement legislation that has been introduced in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The database contains policing bills and executive orders introduced as of May 25, 2020, that are in response to recent events. Policing topics include oversight and data, training, standards and certification, use of force, technology, policing alternatives and collaboration, executive orders and other timely issues.
