description: Inspired by the observation of charmonium-like state $X(3915)$, we explore the discovery potential of the $X(3915)$ production via meson photoproduction process. By investigating the $γp \to J/ψωp$ process including the $X(3915)$ signal and background contributions, we obtain the corresponding information of the cross section, the Dalitz plot and the $J/ψω$ invariant mass spectrum, which is helpful to further experimental study of $X(3915)$ via meson photoproduction.

title: Overcoming Challenges: Lamar Soutter, M.D. (1909-1996)
Creators: name: Vander Hart, Robert
name: Nordberg, Judy
name: Evans, Gael
Publisher: name: eScholarship@UMMS
Year: 2005

description: Objective: This poster chronicles the life and career of Lamar Soutter, who overcame both personal and professional challenges in becoming the founding dean of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Our objective is to demonstrate how the fields of medicine and medi­cal education have benefitted from Soutter’s determination to meet and overcome adversity in his life.

Methods: A Web-based exhibit highlighting Soutter’s life was devel­oped recently by a team of librarians. By making extensive local and national contacts, we were able to assemble a chronology of life events for Soutter. Our research has revealed that throughout his life, Soutter has overcome several distinct personal and professional challenges. Significant contributions to medicine and its practice have been the result, including the establishment of a blood bank and the creation of a new state medical school. Other events include a research expedition through uncharted territory in the Yukon, during which he and a com­panion nearly lost their lives, and his gallant service in World War II as a field surgeon behind enemy lines during the Battle of the Bulge.

Results: The Lamar Soutter Website exhibit is available at library.umassmed.edu/soutter/.

Conclusions: Soutter overcame personal and professional adversity to achieve distinction as a scientist, physician, educator, and humanitar­ian.

Entanglement, scaling, and the meaning of the wave function in protective measurement

description: We examine the entanglement and state disturbance arising in a protective measurement and argue that these inescapable effects doom the claim that protective measurement establishes the reality of the wave function. An additional challenge to this claim results from the exponential number of protective measurements required to reconstruct multi-qubit states. We suggest that the failure of protective measurement to settle the question of the meaning of the wave function is entirely expected, for protective measurement is but an application of the standard quantum formalism, and none of the hard foundational questions can ever be settled in this way.

title: How we doubled our deposits in two years: Developing campus connections and outreach to engage scholars in repository and open access services
Creators: name: Lange, Jessica
Publisher: name: eScholarship@UMassChan
Year: 2021

description: The pandemic brought significant attention to the open access movement and an increased interest and engagement from scholars towards open access and repositories. Libraries can capitalize on this watershed moment to promote their services and connect more deeply with campus researchers and units on open access. This presentation will describe initiatives at McGill University to promote the library’s open access services including its open repository, eScholarship. These efforts have included greater collaboration with the campus’ Office of Sponsored Research, increased presence in university-wide communication channels, as well as the development of a successful 30-minute workshop “How to make your work open access: Psst it doesn’t have to cost money”. This work has borne immediate fruit for the repository, with deposits doubling over the past two years. This presentation will discuss these outreach and collaboration strategies, as well as improved workflows to handle the increase in deposits. It will also briefly discuss the recent survey results from eScholarship users, highlighting areas for future improvement.

Onset of cavitation in the quark-gluon plasma

description: We study the onset of bubble formation (cavitation) in the quark-gluon plasma as a result of the reduction of the effective pressure from bulk-viscous corrections. By calculating velocity gradients in typical models for quark-gluon plasma evolution in heavy-ion collisions, we obtain results for the critical bulk viscosity above which cavitation occurs. Since present experimental data for heavy-ion collisions seems inconsistent with the presence of bubbles above the phase transition temperature of QCD, our results may be interpreted as an upper limit of the bulk viscosity in nature. Our results indicate that bubble formation is consistent with the expectation of hadronisation in low-temperature QCD.

Black like me : understanding racial identity development through the experiences of black women in white sororities at predominantly white institutions (PWIs)
Creators: name: Smith, Joy L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Du Bois (1902) argues that “being Black” is a consistent identity struggle for people of African descent in the United States because Black identity is often seen as incongruent with the cultural and social values of mainstream America. Tinto (1993) offers that this incongruence is apparent at predominantly White institutions (PWIs) and suggests that participating in racially-centered student organizations allows Black students to “fit in” at PWIs and, in turn, promotes their success in college. Carter (1994) contends that Black identity is not a uniformed experience;  socioeconomic status, educational level/attainment and ethnicity/nationality diversify it. This dissertation explored this versatility through the stories of Black women who joined White sororities at PWIs. The goal was to shed light on their experiences, to understand how race is perceived and understood in the lives of those who do not perform race in traditional or stereotypical ways. Secondly, the research delved into the intersected relationship between race, class/socioeconomics and ethnicity/nationality—and the role that it plays in defining Black identity at PWIs.The study employed a phenomenological approach and focused on the participants’ experiences as pre-college and undergraduate students. Individual interviews, a focus group and ethnographic observations were used to collect the data.  It also examined the role that race played in their decision to join a White sorority, as well as their experiences with their racial peers on campus—as first-year students and, later, as members of their sororities. The findings revealed that socioeconomic status and ethnicity/nationality played critical roles in their understandings of Black identity; most of the participants were ridiculed for “acting White” by both, their Black and White peers. Secondly, the participants felt that the authenticity of their “Blackness” was questioned by their racial peers because they did not engage with the Black community on campus on a regular basis. Third, their interactions with the Black/African American students on campus largely impacted their decisions to join traditional (White) sororities; their experiences with their racial peers on campus were nearly identical. Finally, the participants were celebrated their identity as Black women; they simply did not participate in their campus’ “racially authenticating” activities.
Total cross sections and $ρ$ at high energy

description: Analysis of the new experimental data obtained by the TOTEM Collaboration at LHC at $\sqrt{s} = 7 \ $TeV at small momentum transfer is presented. The impact of the different assumptions on the extraction of the parameters of the elastic scattering amplitude, especially on the size of the total cross sections, is examined. It is shown that the contribution of the Coulomb amplitude and Coulomb-hadron interference term should be taken into account in the analysis of the existing experimental data at small momentum transfer. Our new method of extracting the real part of the hadron scattering amplitude from experimental data shows the inconsistency of the size of $ρ=0.14$ to the parameters of the imaginary part of the hadron scattering amplitude obtained by the TOTEM Collaboration. The analysis of the data is compared with the similar analysis in the Regge approach for the hadron scattering amplitude.

title: Campus Poetry Walk: (Re)creating and Reconnecting a Community
Creators: name: Villa, Lisa
Publisher: name: eScholarship@UMassChan
Year: 2021

description: In January 2020, the Outreach and Engagement Team at the College of the Holy Cross began preparing a poetry walk, which was reconfigured to a social media “poetry event” due to COVID-19. With the anticipated return of students to campus for the Spring 2021 semester and a need for the community (especially students) to have recreational opportunities that were safe, socially distanced and preferably outside, the Team attempted for a second time to plan a poetry walk. CrossWorks, the institutional repository for the College, was a part of this plan from the beginning. Foremost, CrossWorks would support the scholarly and creative work of the community as a preservation and access tool for the project. Just as importantly however, the IR could serve as the means for members of the community who were still dispersed, not yet back to campus, or coming to campus infrequently to enjoy the walk virtually. The Outreach and Engagement Team collaborated with both academic and non-academic departments to assemble a mile-long loop through campus featuring original student poetry and poetry from the library’s Distinctive Collections. The project was very successful, with 600 downloads. It was also a great way to promote CrossWorks and solicit more scholarly work as the academic year came to a close. Most rewarding has been the feedback from students and faculty, who appreciated the poetry walk as a way to feel connected to campus and community despite the many ways people were disconnected.

description: Measurements of the HI 21-cm power spectra from the reionization epoch will be influenced by the evolution of the signal along the line-of-sight direction of any observed volume. We use numerical as well as semi-numerical simulations of reionization in a cubic volume of 607 Mpc across to study this so-called light cone effect on the HI 21-cm power spectrum. We find that the light cone effect has the largest impact at two different stages of reionization: one when reionization is $\sim 20\%$ and other when it is $\sim 80\%$ completed. We find a factor of $\sim 4$ amplification of the power spectrum at the largest scale available in our simulations. We do not find any significant anisotropy in the 21-cm power spectrum due to the light cone effect. We argue that for the power spectrum to become anisotropic, the light cone effect would have to make the ionized bubbles significantly elongated or compressed along the line-of-sight, which would require extreme reionization scenarios. We also calculate the two-point correlation functions parallel and perpendicular to the line-of-sight and find them to differ. Finally, we calculate an optimum frequency bandwidth below which the light cone effect can be neglected when extracting power spectra from observations. We find that if one is willing to accept a $10 \%$ error due to the light cone effect, the optimum frequency bandwidth for $k= 0.056 \, \rm{Mpc}^{-1}$ is $\sim 7.5$ MHz. For $k = 0.15$ and $0.41 \, \rm{Mpc}^{-1}$ the optimum bandwidth is $\sim 11$ and $\sim 16$ MHz respectively.

description: We investigate the asymptotic behavior of peculiar velocities in certain physically significant time-dependent gravitational fields. Previous studies of the motion of free test particles have focused on the \emph{collapse scenario}, according to which a double-jet pattern with Lorentz factor $γ\to \infty$ develops asymptotically along the direction of complete gravitational collapse. In the present work, we identify a second \emph{wave scenario}, in which a single-jet pattern with Lorentz factor $γ\to \infty$ develops asymptotically along the direction of wave propagation. The possibility of a connection between the two scenarios for the formation of cosmic jets is critically examined.

description: NER Hospital Librarians is an educational series addressing the professional development needs of hospital librarians in the New England Region. Topics are determined by NNLM NER’s Hospital Libraries Advisory Group (HLAG). Example topics include: DOCLINE Update; Advanced PubMed; and Librarians Supporting Nursing Education and Scholarship. Webinars are schedule for one hour. In-person and virtual events are scheduled for one-five hours.

Each session will highlight a topic of concern to hospital librarians. NNLM NER will identify subject experts to provide instruction either through WebEx or on-site at UMass Medical School. The sessions begin with introduction of topic and subject expert, include discussion on the impact on library management, and conclude with time for questions and answers. Whenever possible, the sessions will be recorded.

For this virtual focus group, NER invited twelve people who are interested in the fate of hospital libraries in NH and VT. We asked three questions: How are librarians coping with the loss of their colleagues in NH and VT? How can NLM Public Services Division support the work of hospital librarians in NH and VT? How can NNLM support the work of hospital librarians in NH and VT? The goal was for the Network to gather perceptions, insights, and experiences of hospital librarians in New Hampshire and Vermont. We know that rural hospitals are economically stressed and that hospital libraries are closing. NER was interested in hearing how this is impacting the remaining hospital librarians.
The emperor’s guard

description: The purpose of this text is to compare the praetorian guard to the German bodyguard (consisting of both the Equites Singulares Augusti and the Germani Corpores Custodes).  These forces existed around the same time period, the first three centuries CE, and had a very similar role.  This paper looks to answer the questions: why were two guards needed inside of Rome? what were their functions? and how did they affect the empire?  The conclusion is made that two guards were not needed inside of Rome; it was simply a helpful luxury to keep a German bodyguard as well.  The praetorians on the other hand were a necessary force that was essential to overseeing the life and death of the emperor.

description: The Blockchain Technology (BT) is a promising technology. Due to its integrity and immutability characteristics, BT affects almost all businesses where digital transactions are executed, and a high level of trust is required. In summary, its architecture is predestined for the protection of intellectual property - also in the context of scientific research and knowledge creation. We present an approach that makes it possible to track early concepts even during their development. The outcome is recorded and linked to the originating person. In our prototype recording is done using digital pens with which contributors write down their notes on normal paper. The identified writing is interpreted using optical character recognition and stored in standardized JSON objects. To guarantee both proof-of-existence and proof-of-origin, a unique hash is generated from each digital artifact stored and embedded into the Blockchain by the OriginStamp decentralized trusted timestamping servi ce. Once this unique fingerprint is embedded in a transaction in the underlying Blockchain network, it can be proven where particular contributions originated due to the characteristics of Blockchain architecture. By providing a clear proof-of-origin, all creators (even third parties) could continue to work on an existing project and add their contribution proportionately, depending on the state of progress. This concept enables an Open Science ecosystem.
Probing the Scale of ALP Interactions with Fermi Blazars

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Gamma-rays from cosmological sources contain information about gamma-ray interactions. Standard model and non-standard model photon interactions along the path between the source and the observer can lead to changes in the energy or state of the photons, which in turn alters the observed energy spectrum of the source. In general, these interactions are a function of photon energy as well as source distance. Here we show how existing high energy (50 GeV -- 10TeV) gamma-ray observations of blazars can be used to constrain the coupling of axion-like-particles (ALPs) to the photon. The same ALP-photon coupling that has been invoked to explain the observations of TeV blazars beyond their pair production horizon is shown to have an effect of the data set of \textit{Fermi} blazars.

description: For central collisions of $^{40}$Ca $+ ^{40}$Ca at 35 MeV/nucleon, the density and temperature of a fragmenting source have been evaluated in a self-consistent manner using the ratio of the symmetry energy coefficient relative to the temperature, $a_{sym}/T$, extracted from the yields of primary isotopes produced in antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) simulations. The $a_{sym}/T$ values are extracted from all isotope yields using an improved method based on the Modified Fisher Model (MFM). The values of $a_{sym}/T$ obtained, using different interactions with different density dependencies of the symmetry energy term, are correlated with the values of the symmetry energies at the density of fragment formation. Using this correlation, the fragment formation density is found to be $ρ/ρ_0 = 0.67 \pm 0.02$. Using the input symmetry energy value for each interaction temperature values are extracted as a function of isotope mass $A$. The extracted temperature values are compared with those evaluated from the fluctuation thermometer with a radial flow correction.

description: As a proof of principle, self-consistent Kohn--Sham calculations are performed with the exact exchange-correlation functional. Finding the exact functional for even one trial density requires solving the interacting Schrödinger equation many times. The density matrix renormalization group method makes this possible for one-dimensional, real-space systems of more than two interacting electrons. We illustrate and explore the convergence properties of the exact KS scheme for both weakly and strongly correlated systems. We also explore the spin-dependent generalization and densities for which the functional is ill defined.

description: Abstract:
A study of different solvent systems for the atomic absorption determination of cobalt revealed that acetone results in best sensitivity. Acetone is the solvent of choice for the sensitive measurement of several metals. Hence, methods were investigated for the separation of acetone from water by salting out so that possible solvent extraction of metal chelates into this solvent could be performed. About two-thirds saturated calcium chloride proved to be the best system for salting out of the acetone. It is essentially a neutral salt and is in general a weakly complexing salt, resulting in minimum interference in solvent extractions. Solvent extraction of several elements as dithizone or APDC chelates into acetone was successful.
A new anodic stripping voltammetric method was developed for stability studies of the poorly characterized APDC chelates. The method allows the study of highly insoluble chelates.
Over sixty elements were successfully measured by flame emission spectroscopy using the nitrous oxide-acetylene flame. Optimum instrumental and flame parameters and detection limits for each element were determined.
High concentrations of neutral salts have, been shown to enhance titration curve breaks of weak bases titrated in either aqueous or nonaqueous solutions. This allowed the coulometric titration of microequivalent quantities of bases with Kb values as small as 4 x 10-12. Volumetric titration of bases with Kb values of 10-14 was possible in nonaqueous solvents.

description: Background: Women with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience disparities in obstetric care access and quality, in addition to communication gaps with healthcare providers. Many obstetric providers are untrained and uneducated about critical aspects of providing care to persons with IDD.

Objectives: The present study was conducted (1) to describe obstetric clinicians’ training experiences related to providing obstetric care to women with IDD, (2) to assess obstetric clinicians’ perceived need for formalized training, and (3) to identify recommendations for training content and dissemination.

Methods: This study involved qualitative individual interviews (n=9) and one focus group (n=8) with obstetric clinicians who self-reported experience caring for women with IDD during pregnancy. Descriptive coding and content analysis techniques were used to develop an iterative codebook related to education and training; codes were applied to the data. Coded data were analyzed for larger themes and relationships.

Results: Analysis revealed three main themes: 1. Need for obstetric training and education: No participant reported receiving any training in caring for pregnant women with IDD. Participants expressed a need for formal education. 2. Recommendations for formal training: Participants noted a dearth of clinical practice guidelines, the need for pregnancy-specific training during residency and beyond, and all healthcare staff should be included in training opportunities. 3. Training outcomes should increase knowledge, enhance attitudes, and develop practical skills related to communication and care for pregnant women with IDD.

Conclusion: Study results indicate a need for and interest in systematic training efforts regarding obstetric care for women with IDD. Improved training and education may decrease health inequities and improve the quality of obstetric care, and thus pregnancy outcomes, for women with IDD.

description: The study aimed at investigating the role of FWC (Family Work Conflict), nepotism, and aggression of customers towards burnout and turnover intention among employees. Employees of several Iranian travel agencies served as a study setting. A total of 30 semi-structured interviews with managers from 30 different travel agencies in Northern Iran were conducted in 2017. For interviews, an interview script was used with audio recorded permission. The interviews took an average of 30 minutes to complete (from Persian to English) and then analysed using a software. Based on interviews, FWC influenced the burnout and turnover intention among employees. The other salient point is the positive effect of customer aggression on the emotional exhaustion of employees; however, the study revealed that nepotism has a negative effect on burnout. To date, research on the role of FWC, nepotism and customer aggression in travel is lacking. This study is therefore a pioneer in the field of research. The researchers have recommended to examine these effects in other countries in Asia or the Middle East and evaluate the results in order to identify other psychological factors that affect burnout. The research revealed that FWC and nepotism effects have significant implications for training programs, especially on how employees deal with dissatisfied customers. Employees need to be trained properly to improve interpersonal skills and how to respect customer loyalty. In addition, managers should create workspaces where employees feel safe in respect of FWC. Lastly, managers should avoid any workplace favoritism and friendship.

description: Online reviews in booking sites inuence the choice of a hotel by future guests. Several hotel attributes are mentioned in online comments, but breakfast is rarely addressed. The purpose of this research is to analyse the importance that European hotel customers give to breakfast when choosing a hotel. For this purpose, online comments in TripAdvisor platform (n=1120) from customers searching for 4- and 5-stars hotels in European capitals were assessed. The hotels (n=112) were selected according to their rate in TripAdvisor (2 high-rank and 2 low-rank per capital). More than half of the comments include a reference to breakfast, being 66% positive and 56% addressing a specific dimension. References to breakfast and positive remarks are more frequent among women (p<0.001). Positive comments are more frequent on the high-rank hotels and negative comments on the low-rank hotels (p<0.001). No differences were found considering the aim/type of travel. Hotel managers should consider breakfast as an important factor that their customers' comment and publish about in booking platforms. Importantly, a description in the hotel website and eventually other platforms may positively influence tourists' comments and ultimately the rank of the hotel on booking sites, and therefore impact customers' perception of the quality of the hotel. Other studies should consider determining managers' and visitors' perspectives regarding these findings.

description: OBJECTIVE: 2D Ultrasound (US) imaging has been recently investigated as a more accessible alternative to 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for the estimation of soft issue motion under external mechanical loading. In the context of pressure ulcer prevention, the aim of this pilot MRI study was to design an experiment to characterize the sacral soft tissue motion under a controlled mechanical loading. Such an experiment targeted the estimation of the discrepancy between tissue motion assessed using a 2D imaging modality (echography) versus tissue motion assessed using a (reference) 3D imaging modality (MRI).METHODS: One healthy male volunteer participated in the study. An MRI-compatible custom-made setup was designed and used to load the top region of the sacrum with a 3D-printed copy of the US transducer. Five MR images were collected, one in the unloaded and four in the different loaded configurations (400-1200 [g]). Then, a 3D displacement field for each loading configuration was extracted based on the results of digital volume correlation. Tissue motion was separated into the X, Y, Z directions of the MRI coordinate system and the ratios between the out-of-plane and in-plane components were assessed for each voxel of the selected region of interest.RESULTS: Ratios between the out-of-plane and in-plane displacement components were higher than 0.6 for more than half of the voxels in the region of interest for all load cases and higher than 1 for at least quarter of the voxels when loads of 400-800 [g] were used.CONCLUSION: The out-of-ultrasound-plane tissue displacement was not negligible, therefore 2D US imaging should be used with caution for the evaluation of the tissue motion in the sacrum region. The 3D US modality should be further investigated for this application.

description: Background:

History of Anesthesia [HOA] may be taught through lectures, small group discussions, or by one-on-one teaching. HOA competes for scarce time in a busy didactic schedule and for coverage in mainstream medical journals devoted to anesthesiology. These efforts are hampered by the fact that HOA does not have any direct impact on the delivery of modern anesthesia, and the fact that these topics do not appear in written or oral board examinations.

We describe three additional modalities to teach HOA to anesthesia residents that have been successfully employed by the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Massachusetts: 1) Tours; 2) Historical Narratives and Novels; and 3) Movies and Video Clips.

Conclusions:

It is difficult to impart information using lectures due to time constraints and a very busy didactic schedule in residency programs. HOA related material does not get adequate coverage in standard textbooks of anesthesiology. We describe successful use of three modalities of imparting interesting information in an informal setting. Such efforts provide a unique experience during residency training. From preliminary reports we are confident that details from such tours, novels and movies remain imprinted in their memory for many years, perhaps permanently. These individuals are likely to remain advocates of history, and may choose to devote a part of their academic career towards exploration of HOA.

description: Italian immigrants in Orange, New Jersey destroyed a newly constructed smallpox isolation hospital on March 11, 1901. Controversy ensued from the moment the community became aware of the Board of Health’s plan to quarantine smallpox victims in their midst. The implications of a nearby isolation hospital threatened the neighborhood’s residents with both contagious disease and unemployment. After the community’s protests erupted in the hospital’s destruction, newspaper coverage quickly turned ugly, characterizing Orange’s Italian immigrant population as a “mob” unfit for autonomous governance.  Not only did The New York Times, Washington Post, Newark Evening News, and Philadelphia Inquirer write overwhelmingly disparaging articles about the immigrant residents of Orange, but newspaper characterizations of the event prodigiously supported the actions of the city’s Board of Health.The destruction of a smallpox isolation hospital in Orange serves as a case study that analyzes the rising authority of public health in American society, and the tension caused between the City’s Board of Health and the Common Council, Mayor, Police Chief, and community, by the exercise of that authority. The mid-1800s saw the advent in the United States of standing Boards of Health in major towns and cities for the purposes of combatting epidemic disease. As medical authorities gained unprecedented power with the rise of public health at the turn of the twentieth century, supported and sustained by the police powers of the state, many Americans felt threatened by compulsory vaccinations and forced quarantine. Immigrants were disproportionately affected not only by deadly epidemics but also by authorities’ often heavy-handed efforts to manage the real and imagined “contagion.” The mischaracterizations of Orange’s residents obscured how and why the community viewed the short-lived isolation hospital as a threat to their well-being. In fact, newspapers demeaned the city’s Third Ward by constantly insinuating that Italian immigrants were not acting in the public’s interest. Such coverage suggested that these immigrants had questionable motives and loyalties, were incapable of self-governance, and were generally unfit for American citizenship. Ultimately, newspaper representation alienated Orange’s Board of Health from the remainder of the community and created a situation in which benefitting no one.

description: An extension of Penrose's singularity theorem is proved for spacetimes where black holes are allowed to form from non-singular initial data. With standard assumptions about the spacetime, and assuming the existence of a trapped surface which lies outside of black hole horizons and is not completely surrounded by horizons, we show that the spacetime region outside (or on) the horizons must contain singularities. If the trapped surface is surrounded by horizons, we show that the horizons divide spacetime into causally disconnected pieces. Unlike the original Penrose's theorem, our theorems provide some information about the location of singularities. We illustrate how they can be used to rule out some cosmological scenarios.

description: In the interest of making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will institute a new Research Data Management and Sharing Policy in January 2023. This policy will require researchers applying for NIH funding to submit a Data Management and Sharing Plan. As 63% of grant dollars received by UMass Chan Medical School researchers comes from the NIH, we explored whether UMass Chan researchers are currently sharing data associated with their published research. PubMed was searched for articles published in 2019 with a UMass Chan researcher as either the first or last author. These articles were then examined for evidence of original or reused data, the type of data, whether the article stated that data was available, and where and how to find that data. Of the 713 articles found with a UMass Chan first and/or last author, 535 were research articles that produced original data or reused existing data. Of those articles with data, 57.4% (307) were NIH funded, 17.2% (92) had a data availability statement, and 10.8% had data deposited in a repository. This poster will highlight how the results of the study will inform our library services for researchers and provide tips on making UMass Chan data FAIR.
