New submissions
DCN-251: Data for: An Examination of Data Reuse Practices within Highly Cited Articles of Faculty at a Research University, a library and information sciences code and tabular dataset, was submitted by Hoa Luong for Illinois and curated by Seth Erickson for Penn State.
DCN-252: Utilizing Virtualized Hardware Logic Computations to Benefit Multi-User Performance, a computer science code dataset, was submitted by Jennifer Moore for WashU and curated by Greg Janée for UCSB.
DCN-253: Dataset for "Quantification of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy data using a combined reference: Application in typically developing infants", a neuroscience scientific image dataset, was submitted by Hoa Luong for Illinois and curated by Chen Chiu for JHU.
DCN-254: Scopus API Scripts for Data Reuse Project, an LIS code dataset, was submitted by Hoa Luong for Illinois and curated by Susan Borda for Michigan.

Resolutions
DCN-244: Deep-learning model for occulted hard X-ray flare detection, an astrophysics simulation dataset, was submitted by Lisa Johnston for Minnesota and curated by Henrik Spoon for Cornell. Henrik recommended that the authors enhance their documentation (readme) to provide better instructions on how to run the code so that users unfamiliar with the programming language could still run it successfully! Lisa resolved this dataset and reported that due to Henrik's expertise major curation actions were taken. The authors did update their readme as recommended, a sample input file was added, and more contextual information was added to the documentation as well.
DCN-245: Data for: The Potential Impact of a Clean Energy Society On Air Quality, an atmospheric simulation (netCDF) dataset, was submitted by Hoa Luong for Illinois and curated by Susan Borda for Michigan. Susan had a few recommendations for improvements to the documentation including: to define acronyms related to file names, clarify which output files related to each model, to clarify if output files were raw or processed (and if processed to include the code used for processing), to define which data or parameters were used as model inputs, and to include a citation to the paper mentioned in the dataset's description. Hoa reports that thought the author did agree with the recommendations, no changes have been made yet.
DCN-249: Southeastern South America Soil Moisture Alteration Experiment Using CESM2, an atmospheric simulation (netCDF) dataset, was submitted by Hoa Luong for Illinois and curated by Susan Borda for Michigan. Susan's only recommendation was that the author clarify if thedatafiles were raw or processed, and if they were processed to include any code used in the processing. Hoa reported that minimal curation actions occurred based on Susan's recommendation, but that the author did include the clarification as recommended.
DCN-250: Characterization of pubertal development of girls in rural Bangladesh, a public health statistical (stata) dataset, was submitted to the DCN by Marley Kalt and curated by Sophia Lafferty-Hess. Sophia's reported that the dataset was generally in very good shape but recommended that the author add definitions of and reasons for missing data within the dataset to the data dictionary and also that the local curation team request a copy of the consent form/waiver of consent, if they wished. Marley reported that due to Sophia's curation efforts minimal action was taken and the author did update the data dictionary as recommended.
DCN-252:Data from Virtualized Hardware Logic Computations, a computer science code dataset, was submitted by Jennifer Moore and curated by Greg Janée for UCSB. Greg’s recommendations were primarily concerned with documentation, specifically he recommended that the author document how to run the code, any external dependencies the code relies on, define the structure of the output file and also address copyright statements found in some of the files. Jennifer reports that based on Greg’s expertise minimal curation actions were taken and the researcher did address the recommendations.
